    Browsers I tried yesterday (on Linux):

    • Zen: neat, but the UI is too different for my taste
    • Floorp: also neat, but features I don’t use
    • Waterfox: sweet spot for me

    Librewolf and Waterfox seem pretty similar on paper. I went with Waterfox cuz idk. So far, Waterfox seems to be a drop-in replacement. I haven’t noticed any problems with websites and haven’t run into any bugs.

    One note about Waterfox is that I would have liked if it was added to the official Arch Linux repos. I installed fine with the AUR, but still.

    Bonus: Waterfox is available on Android! 🥳

      Is waterfox independent of system1 now?

      ETA: they are apparently: www.farside.link/reddit.com/r/waterfox/comments/14phsyl/a_new_chapter_for_waterfox/

      Same for LibreWolf.

      I was thinking I should ditch android FF, too…

      Zen: is Firefox

      Floorp: is Firefox

      Waterfox: is Firefox

      Librewolf: is Firefox

      They are all dependent on Mozilla and its choices.

      Is Zen still a safe bet? I’m using it currently and quite like it actually so I’m hoping it’s still a good option. I just frankly am pretty ignorant of all this browser shenanigans.
