Recently switched over to mull browser. Fork of the Firefox browser, works great so far. Also if you are unsure of the security of your browser, could use the website, browseraudit.com, that rates your current browsers. Runs 100+ against several tests and reports back.

Add www.ecosia.org to that list. Or at least their browser.

Firefox gets north of $300-$500 million from Google.

So? Brave is way better than today's Firefox. And I say that after being an avid FF user for almost 19 years. I refuse to go back to it or to fuel the shitshow and cash-grab which is Mozilla nowadays.

What makes it better?

Ok, so this is my setup.

Work laptop: Forced to use chrome so switched to degoogled chromium. Personal PC: Windows and Linux: Use librewolf on my personal machines. iPhone: Use Firefox on my iPhone Android: I use Bromite (Chromium based) on my Android phone.

So, it's basically using the best I could find for each job. I cannot defend either of those as the only reason I continue to use them is because I am used to the interface.

The content doesn't come from nowhere. Whenever you're ready to start contributing, feel free.

Sure, if you count reposts as "contributions" I can easily contribute memes I copy paste from elsewhere.

Won't do it tho.

God damn I thought I saw the last of these stupid browser takes on reddit, chromium is open source and we've seen multiple browsers (Brave, Vivaldi, I think librewolf) using its potential to remove themselves from the chromium baseline and build out their own fork with ad blocking services that didn't go down when manifest V3 happened.

There's no "browser monopoly" anymore than there's a "V shaped engine" monopoly in cars. Why don't people use Gecko more? That's like asking why people don't use rotary piston engines in cars, you could, it's just garbage. Gecko isn't the standard because no one wants to build a web browser with it.

So can someone confirm if 'they' ever got Chromecast access functional in Firefox yet? Last time I looked into it and tested it out the plugin or fx_bridge or whatever it was called was years ago and it never managed to work, which is the sole reason why I haven't switched to Firefox.

To be fair, WebKit is just Blinks (Chromium) sibling. I'm not sure if KHTML is proud or not.
