can a chromium fork reasonably be maintained with adblock support?
That would be getting right back in bed with Google, gross.
i also hate it, but i see no one else putting the amount of work necessary to maintain an entire browser engine. and mozilla clearly wants to enshittify.
firefox has its days numbered. even if its not overnight and we have some time, we have to come up with something.
anyone up to date on how servo is doing rn, btw?
This new policy doesn't apply to Firefox forks so you're better off with one of those
so in a similar vein: can the community reasonably maintain an up-to-date and secure gecko-based browser we can universally move to instead of firefox? can we make google back the fuck off while we do so? because thats what seems to be the way, with how things are going down.
You mean like Pale Moon
I forgot that Pale Moon existed. How's development going on that these days? I see that it got an update a week ago.
Still going strong. If the community reports issues or incompatibility then it gets fixed quickly.
Thorium certainly does https://thorium.rocks/
I stopped following Thorium when some questionable pics were discovered in its repo
Thoughts on Vivaldi?
I mostly use Librewolf on Linux, and Fennec on Android. When I specifically need a Chromium-based browser, I usually open a Chromium guest from nix-shell on Linux, or Kiwi on Android.
Can you elaborate on this?

I want to say thanks but also I hated reading that lol
Brave supports extensions still but it has its own issues.
It's getting hard to boycott companies and products when it starting to look like most are dipping their toes into stuff their users don't like.
