If you want to use a Firefox-like browser, you can use a fork like Water Fox and not support the programmer socks wearing danger hairs at Mozilla. Its like the argument with Bud Light, yes all browser devs are woke, but we can choose to not support Mozilla.

Those forks still rely on Mozilla maintaining Firefox, just like Brave/Opera/etc rely on Google to maintain Chromium.

However, if you prefer forks, go for it.

FWIW, the only Firefox fork I've found that keeps up with updates is LibreWolf. I just found out about it so I can't vouch for it, but it says its main focus is privacy and security, which sounds promising.

but we can choose to not support Mozilla.

That's your absolute right to do so. And they're not a good company by any means.

The main point I'm making is you're going to support the enemy regardless of what you pick, so you might as well pick the browser you like.

Firefox is the Bud Light piss water of browsers. Yes, Google is evil. Yes, Apple is evil. Same thing with Molson Coors, they're just as woke as AB Inbev. A collective boycott of Mozilla specifically is sending a message even if it has the side effect of supporting another woke company. Besides, I'd argue that Mozilla is the wokest company of the woke browser makers.

In 2023, Firefox doesn't need to exist. And if you don't like how Google is developing Chromium, then fork it like how Microsoft did.

Waterfox is a soft fork of (and reliant on) FF. It's also owned by the ad company System1, of google search frontend Startpage, as well as Bing frontend Dogpile. Together with Startmail, and a whole host of other venues.

I just picked a fork arbitrarily. I don't use any FF derivative at all. I don't see the need to.

Because you should use the least evil/worst one, and that's not a google chromium browser. Starting with worst, there's safari (web kit) & google chromium (blink) [shared place], chromium forks, firefox (gecko), FF forks, Pale Moon (Goanna).

Using google gives them power.

I disagree. Mozilla has shown themselves to be the most actively subversive. I don't care much at all about browser politics. But I do care a lot about an organization that actively supports marxism and critical theory and hates people like you and me.
