    Firefox, begrudgingly.

    It’s the best browser from a performance standpoint, and has the features i want, but it’s still a bit of a resource hog. It’s just that everything else is worse (slower, lacking essential features, or most often both).

    Firefox. I’m not happy with how Mozilla Corp is operating, but I’m not switching to a Firefox fork unless there’s actual developer exodus (akin to what happened to OpenOffice/LibreOffice). Ultimately, at this stage, those forks depend on upstream Firefox developers for 99% of the work.

        Don’t worry, this is very old news.

        OpenOffice.org was basically stuck in a bureaucratic hell of their own and couldn’t really do major decisions without the leaders’ approval. I think Sun Microsystems/Oracle was involved.

        Some high up developers got basically kicked out by the governing folk, so they decided to start the Document Foundation to make LibreOffice, and vast majority of the developers followed. They were just happy to be actually able to do something.

        OpenOffice got donated to Apache Project and there’s been very minimal maintenance on it ever since.

        I just had a quick search, I can be wrong so do not take these as facts but some parts seems to be open source and some UI parts closed, like many web browsers they get sone revenues from a start page but the owners seems very decent and advocates for internet privacy since the 1999.

        Also they are based in EU which i trust way more than US servers.

            He moved from Sweden to Silicon Valley, made a bunch of money, but came to hate the “limousine liberal” culture, and felt he was severely discriminated against (in a professional sense) as a hetero white man.

            So he left California, got sober, and went full time FOSS developer.

            He is an asshole because he now enforces a strict “anti-woke” policy among his contributors, and bans anyone who falls out of line. It’s one thing to ban controversial or political topics, but his interpretation takes things way past any semblance of reason.

            A wild one i remember was when he banned someone for using singular they in some documentation, which has been a part of the English language since the Norman period at least. He said it was “political language”.
