I need extensions way too much to use something built from scratch, so as Firefox joins the enshittification bandwagon, what’s the best Firefox-based browser I should check out?

      Just as a warning, LibreWolf inherently messes with the browser time zone as a key aspect of its programming, so if you schedule videos for publication (for example), they’ll publish at a way different time. Seeing how there was no way to easily turn off its time zone obfuscation was what reverted me to Waterfox. It can also mess with scheduled messages or timestamps in chat apps.

        Thanks for posting this! I use WhatsApp Web, so seems like this may cause me problems…

          You can revert the timestamp to normality but the process is convoluted and I don’t remember it as I only found our after uninstalling it.

      I like the look of this, have you used it much? I’ve been using a mixture of Fennec on mobile and Librewolf/Waterfox on desktop for a bit now, but some of Zen’s features look pretty useful.

        I’ve been using it for quite a while and it has almost eliminated my needs for another browser. It’s pretty good

        Used Waterfox for years, made the switch to Zen which has quickly become my browser of choice. Mostly because I never realize it’s running. I can have, and currently do have a million tabs open and it barely affects my system. Which is nice.

        It’s my main browser for a while now and I really like the vertical tabs and tab unloading which saves a lot of ram compared to regular firefox. Otherwise I think the split modes and the peeking feature are nice but I don’t use them that much.

    Currently use Librewolf. Have tried Floorp, waterfox, zen and some others but always come back to Librewolf

        i’m only half joking and half raising awareness of this project since it too is a firefox based browser.

        the thing i liked about iceweasel (before it became icecat) were the nightly builds; but i switched back to firefox once they started doing that too and i don’t know if icecat is still doing this.
