Rikj000, hace 6 meses en Floorp is a lean Firefox fork with privacy and customizability

I’ve been happily using LibreWolf,
a privacy minded fork of FireFox
for quite some time now.

What does Floorp have,
which LibreWolf doesn’t have?

LibreWolf is a privacy hardened fork. Floorp does remove some annoyances like pocket and telemetry, but probably not strict as LibreWolf. It adds to firefox in the customization section with native vertical tabs, sidebars, moving the navigation bar to the bottom, etc.

I used LibreWolf a long time ago, so probably not up-to-date on it, though.

I think it’s good for Firefox to get these alternatives using it as a base. Great news.

On, hace 6 meses

ya, firefox really needed a customizable fork. I like my tabs on the sidebar and all the extensions didn't make the experience feel native.

Hopefully this project brings more people to Firefox.

I remember seeing examples like this before. People attack maintainers with the same verve as a big corporation that they’re paying services for.

There are humans behind these projects and very few people want to fund them despite relying on them as well.
