Hey, have you donated to Mozilla recently? Congratulations, you helped them fund their AI startup with $30 million.

@aral So, we're back to the browser question, I guess. What shall we do? I'm very reluctant to go for anything google-based. And Safari is somewhat clumsy. Stop using the internet is not an option. Is there any new browser on the horizon?
@viennawriter
There are plenty of forks of Firefox still, which are fine for now, if you're strictly against Mozilla. But it will be harder to keep against the upstream later, likely. It's still lesser of the evils.
You can try Palemoon tho, but it will suck if you're used to too modern web. Ladybird project is promising, but it's in rather early stage, but they have some funding already and full-time employees.
@veclavtalica Thanks! These are probably all viable options for me and I'll have a look into those. Thanks! Still I need something I can tell my parents to install. But yes ... Will take a bit of time, it seems.
What is the use of changing the browser?
From my perspective the problem is that Mozilla spends/wastes money on shitty things like metaverse and AI which is missing for maintaining the browser. And this will not change if less are using the browser. And forked browsers will suffer from a suffering Firefox, too.
OTHO I'm not supporting Mozilla since I can not support "Firefox development" (and nothing else). [To be frank: other reason is that there is no IBAN.]
