@bobkmertz @dpflug @aspensmonster Unlike Mozilla’s leadership, I think Ladybird’s co-founders understand the primary reason people are supporting them is because they are not doing what Mozilla is doing.
Shopify and Proton are problematic companies, but I don’t think they have enough financial sway or anti-privacy business reasons to corrupt Ladybird.
Regardless, I am rooting more for @servo / Verso.
@bluGill@fedia.io @rumschlumpel@feddit.org So far, the “evil” is not in the Firefox codebase. It’s only in the Mozilla privacy policy.

Oops. Broke my own thread.

We need more browser competition.
Switching to a Chromium-based browser (Arc, Brave, Vivaldi, Edge, et al) does not increase browser competition. It just further strengthens Google’s ability to control the web as a platform.

@TechDesk@flipboard.social @Gizmodo I considered writing this exact exploit scenario as an argument for opposing the proposed EU #ChatControl regulation, but thought it would be too tinfoil hat and yet here we are.

Ok, this fork of Firefox actually is pretty great:
@zenbrowser@fosstodon.org is Firefox under the hood, but with a UX more like Arc. It’s already had over 2 million downloads. I am trying it out for a week as my primary browser and will report back.
