@boilingsteam Along the same lines as the AOSP situation, I don't trust Google's stewardship of the Chromium code. So all things Blink are out for me.While Firefox is certainly become a poor option, I still feel pretty good about its forks. I prefer privacy over performance so Librewolf(as opposed to something like Zen) for desktop and Ironfox on mobile for me.Praying for an independent project(maybe Ladybird? Servo?) to someday become a viable alternative. Browsers are hard though.

@dyrge @boilingsteam I'm starting to think browsers are hard on purpose. Why do we need such complex software to surf the web, if in the end it leads us to monopoly and corporate take over?

@kn_fk @dyrge because most of the "web" is full fledged web applications running JavaScript under the hood. So the browser becomes a second OS.

@boilingsteam I wish LibreWolf and maybe Zen were in the official repo so I don't have to rely on the AUR for something as critical and with such a big attack surfaceNot that the AUR is bad but just for peace of mind, knowing maintainers also had their eyes on the code before it runs on my machine, I don't know...Ladybird is promising sure but I don't feel comfortable promoting the project because of its leader(https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and-fascists.html)Maybe I'll wait for a Servo based browser?
