@couscous@mamot.fr @marnic@framapiaf.org Les premiers paragraphes “Histoire” de https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice te donneront une version bien plus détaillé que ce que j’avais en tête pour te répondre. 😆
C’était un sacré truc !

@scaro@mamot.fr Merci. Sur mobile jusque là c’était Firefox sur un Android dégooglisé… enfin au mieu possible car c’est quasi impossible de faire un 100%.

Mais là je teste la semaine prochaine https://iode.tech/ , c’est du https://lineageos.org/ mélangé avec de la revente de matos reconditionné. Je donnerai des news sur le blog si ça fait bien le taf, surtout si au niveau photo/video ça arrive à suivre. ☺️

@marnic@framapiaf.org Oui 😁 Mais faudrait commencer cette fondation avec un sacré budget pour avoir déjà une grosse poignée de dev à plein temps dessus.

Je verrai bien la Wikipedia fondation dessus. Il me semble que leur trésorerie et leur moyen technique et leur familiarité avec le publique ferait que si ils entraient dans ce game, ça ferait un acteur de poids très rapidement.

@prakasc@chaos.social For Waterfox, I read their webpage, and the Wikipedia page only. The chapter about vulnerabilities was enough for me to not get motivated to explore more. Also a business model based on search result. Meh. But cool name.

@bigTanuki :blobcatheart: Thank you, but don’t worry, I’m making many errors too, and I’ll keep doing them as I often experiment with many new things.
I just hope I’ll get comments helping me if I go accidentally on questionable territories and I’ll have the brightness of mind to study them and readjust.

@marnic@framapiaf.org Totalement! C’est même pour ça que dans ma métaphore, je voulais vraiment montrer que le petit renard reste un renard , tant bien même recouvert de cendre. Ca ressemble donc plutôt a une “community curated edition” de Firefox, mais je crois que c’est ce que je cherche là. Je commence à me méfier de Mozilla. Ils dérapent trop souvent ces derniers temps, et ça c’est que la partie publique…

@technikhil @louischance Yes, Zen Browser was on my list when I tested, beautiful interface and screenshot on their website.

> I’m wondering if those forks are actually viable if Firefox dies one day…

Louis: yes, this THE central real question about all these forks. I personally don’t think any forks around could survive that.

@elgregor@librem.one That’s a good solution! My initiation to LibreWolf made me aware of many settings I never thought existing in Firefox (because suddenly all were turned on by default). It was really educative, and I’ll probably benefit a lot of it if I’m going back to Firefox.

@Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com That’s exactly where I found it educative to have to be personally facing this dilemma and having to choose.

Here I decided to allow fingerprinting, because mainly I really like when a blog or website switch to dark mode automatically. Without that, all website were in light theme, and it felt very difficult to me to browse the web like that now…

@BluesHarp@musicians.today But Vivaldi is not free/libre and open source software… This is even not an option on my operating system as it is really impossible to know what Vivaldi dev are doing with your data.

@praveen @darkbeth Thank you Elizabeth.

LibreWolf is just a layer of community reviewing in case Mozilla pushes something bad to their audience. My metaphor about the layer of ash on top of a fox works for this reason.

I also worry for the future of Firefox. I hope their executives will see larger community forming around forks, and it will make them find back their focus to privacy, and security. I’ll be back to Firefox if they do that.

@mray@social.tchncs.de Thanks! Oh yes it’s not easy to find the time and do a change and walk the path of frustration of changing habit and studying settings.

Thanks for the video, I’m already subscribed to this animator artist, James Lee.

He recently announced moving to GNU/Linux. It’s not the best period to do this for artists, with Wayland, all container war etc…I don’t remember I saw an update of them about how they succeed to make it. Certainly hard time ^ ^ I hope he found my blog post about it.

@matera@mastodon.sdf.org Haha, I typed in a search engine for “furryfox” before realizing it was your way of naming Firefox. 😆
Catchy name.
Yes, I’ll keep my Firefox too in background. Right now mainly to compare when I have an issue with LibreWolf, and also to test my blog and peppercarrot website. 😉

@simonzerafa@infosec.exchange @protonprivacy@mastodon.social @mozillaofficial@mastodon.social I’m not sure how official the account you linked here is, the branding feels off and it’s not really noted in the bio this is their official new account.

Before December, Mozilla had their instance, and decided to remove it ( src. https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/17/mozilla-exits-the-fediverse-and-will-shutter-its-mastodon-server-in-december/ )

Proton also really manage their PR like rotten potatoes imo ( https://theintercept.com/2025/01/28/proton-mail-andy-yen-trump-republicans/ )

… both company also abuse marketing bs wording and praise AI. Not surprising they are criticized here.

@rony4102@programming.dev Well, I visited their webpage and read their Wikipedia. But only checking they are still active on X was a red flag to me so far to get interested in.
