If Google is successful with their garbage webDRM, I feel we might actually get a sort of reset back to the early 2000s internet for those that care to get out of that corporate hell hole the "internet" has become.

And thanks to the Fediverse we might not even need something like Google ever again. But then they'll start attacking the infrastructure itself. Make it prohibitively expensive to run such instances, etc. Attack them with content that gets instances banned, etc.

No matter where one looks, it feels it's an all out war on any minor comfort or freedom left to the non-ultra-rich-ultra-connected.

So. As for Firefox. What's a good alternative? I'm very fond of the container thing they got going, but everything else can be replaced, I believe.
