Never heard of it, but I looked it up and the first screenshot I saw looked /exactly/ like Firefox.

I think I'll just enable/disable what I want in the original product, and use add-ons that work.

I wonder, how it is more secure? Do they just include the popular security add-ons that are available for Firefox in their version? I use uBlock Origin here with my Firefox, and there's really nothing that disappoints me about it. Heck, I haven't even run into any sites that don't work in quite some time.

I'll pass, butthank you for the forewarning and heads up. I pulled up the site to check it out, finished reading your post, and closed the window without reading anything. ;)

Nick
