    #Firefox has too much going on for a default install. Home screen widgets, AI and other things. You need to disable quite a few things in settings to make it focus on browsing. #Librewolf is too restrictive for a normal person to use. Again can be changed in settings but default experience is not ideal for normal web browsing.
    I have found #waterfox to be a good middle ground, has sane settings for privacy and can be used straightaway for normal web browsing and video watching.

    Personally, I use #Waterfox and #ZenBrowser. But between the two you mentioned, I'd use #Librewolf since they don't include AI in their browser.

    The Programmer’s Fulcrum 21 August, 2026

    This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum. Welcome to this week's The Programmer's Fulcrum. It's your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.

    FOSS NEWS

    MidnightBSD 4.0.4 Released With Aged & Agectl For Age Verification/Attestation:
    phoronix.com/news/MidnightBSD-
    (I wonder what the heck is going on in the project that they didn't want to comply, and then they suddenly do... Hopefully it won't happen to more currently non-compliant projects)

    GhostBSD says no to age verification, but will probably comply with age attestation laws:
    forums.ghostbsd.org/d/793-free
    (Now that's pretty sad, GhostBSD was one of the systems I would consider if I ever decided to switch to BSD. I'll stay on Linux because there are quite a few distros who openly oppose this nonsense, but I'd like to see at least one BSD system fully opposing just in case)

    Reemplazando Mozilla Firefox

    Como comenté anteriormente, estoy dejando de usar Firefox. Una condición del cambio es no usar un navegador basado en el motor de Google Chrome (el IE6 de éstos tiempos).

    Acá comento cuáles he ido probando, mi experiencia y con cuáles me quedé.

    Nie spodziewałem się, że to kiedyś nastąpi ... :/

    Zastąpiona przez fork #Mercury, który z kolei pozbierał różne patche liska z #LibreWolf, #Waterfox, #FireDragon, #PlasmaFox i #Ghostery.
    Testuję też #floorp
    Edit: I #ZenBrowser
    A zamiast Thunderbirda, #Betterbird :)
