I switched to searx.be a couple of days ago and so far I'm quite happy with the results.

Oh, please please PLEASE I hope they can get this right to get some real competition in the tablet space.

The article mentions this is happening on the TV Youtube app. You're running Firefox on your Android TV?

I picked a cheap phone on purpose, but I don't know how I'll be able to go back to a phone that doesn't have the chop to activate the flashlight gesture. It works everytime for me, and it's a pretty easy gesture. I've never had it go off accidentally either. Same goes for the double twist for the camera.

The guestures have been such a pleasant surprise for my budget tier device.

Cool, thanks! Something I've been meaning to try out.

Which one? Something paid or self hosted?

Govt: We’re switching to electric. Buy an EV!

Consumers: Buy Chinese affordable EV

Govt: Not like that!

Perhaps, but since they're prohibitively expensive we aren't buying enough of them.

There are already other open source forks of Firefox that are community driven and maintained without employees or a for profit organization behind them. The obvious example is LibreWolf which describes itself as "a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom". There's no argument that maintaining a web browser is currently complex and needs to make security first decisions, but LibreWolf as an example shows us that it is not only possible but I argue proves it will continue even if Firefox as we know it goes away.

You may want to educate yourself before spreading unnecessary FUD. Firefox is free and open source, and always has been. There's no danger in Firefox becoming a paid browser because even if they tried, it would just be forked and maintained by another community or group.

Mozilla does have a for-profit arm called the Mozilla Corporation, and they manage the money received from Google and others. But that doesn't mean Firefox is going to become paid even if Google gets broken up by the antitrust efforts of the US government.

I like Thunder too, especially since it's cross platform on Android and iOS / iPadOS. I get the same user experience on my phone and my iPad.
