Yesterday I accidentally wiped my Firefox profile. Upon creating a new one I was hit with the realisation of just how many shit defaults Firefox has. This made me consider using a fork which un-enshittifies Firefox.

There is only one that I know of, LibreWolf. Thankfully it seems actively maintained. So on Windows I have started using that for now. On Linux I still use Firefox because the enlightened repository maintainers don’t allow any Firefox/Chromium forks and I don’t wanna use Flatpak or pacakge it myself.

Are there any other forks worth considering?

    He did all the heavy lifting though, writing the template and all that. Updating the package in the future shouldn’t require much more than updating the source destination in the template file when a new version comes out.

      I guess you are right. The patches seem to not have needed any updates in a month.
