@cR0w Made the switch about 6 months ago and it does 99% of what I need it to do after some tweaks. Still find an occasional site that just does not want to work with it, but probably could be resolved if I felt like digging a bit.

macOS support would be nice, if they had any desire to become anything more than a toy project.

@wdormann @cR0w I start to feel like a Kagi sales person here, but may I suggest to give Orion a try (mac only)? https://kagi.com/orion/

@cR0w have u tried trivalent?

When I asked about what sort of alternatives to Firefox and Chrome exist, due to the recent unpleasant turns that both browsers (/ their companies) have made, I perhaps didn't realize what I was getting into.

It seems that there are over a dozen forks / homebrew / etc. alternatives that may be fine. But they're all made by who knows whom, and come with an indeterminate support plan. (e.g. you might commit to one of the numerous alternatives out there, and then be unpleasantly surprised by its (potentially silent) abandonment a month later.

I'm terrified by installing a browser extension that I don't know who wrote. To put the level of trust in an entire browser written by who knows whom is sort of extra cringeworthy. 😬

At the end of the day, it seems that we are perhaps getting a year that we can manually re-enable disabled V3 extensions in Chrome before they're blocked entirely. (which can maybe still be undone with a config tweak). And maybe a year from now we can see how the dust has settled and how Chromium-downstream browsers (e.g. Edge) have handled the V2 deprecation. 🤷‍♂️

@wdormann @cR0w I've had the same error on M3 recently, but it can be fixed easily. Here is the official explanation https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#why-is-librewolf-marked-as-broken

I saw that. But I'm not installing an entire framework to install a thing that doesn't bother to do proper code signing.

That's a smell test that reeks to high heaven. 😂

@cR0w @wdormann for what it's worth, just because you don't know the devs doesn't mean nobody does. i am familiar with the dev of trivalent and secureblue; and it's gotten far better endorsements than any firefox derivative.

also, tbh, i kind of resent your comment about them being "toy projects"; and i have an inclination to prefer projects by indie devs over corpos all else being equal
