I really want to keep using & supporting #gecko but #Mozilla is going down the toilet- what to do?
#Firefox desktop -> #LibreWolf (that was easy, simply copied my profile and it all came back exactly as before)
#Firefox mobile -> #IronFox (also easy on #GrapheneOS via #Accrescent store)
I can still use #FirefoxSync on both which is nice 'cos I am not quite ready to leave that convenience yet.
Now it's mostly just a matter of replacing my dependency on #Pocket (compiled out of LibreWolf), but that was on my list of services to deprecate anyway...

Milkki wanted to try one of my drinks while he was over, unfortunately he didn't specify a "normal" drink! x3

Should we ditch Firefox? And replace it with a Firefox fork?
In any case, I think the whole "we can't just have one browser" argument has been put to bed, and arguably #Mozilla isn't the only one still implementing the #gecko engine.
I hope to see a fork between various vendors, that #librewolf, #zenbrowser, #floorp and others cross swords, and with these powers combined make #mozilla regret their decision to abandon libre principles.
The engine isn't bad. I think it's pretty good... just maybe they could update the standards for it :3 plz?

Looking to ditch Big Tech but also not use #chromium.
I would love to use Vivaldi.
I will stay on the sinking ship #gecko.

#Herpetology friends, can someone suggest a good warming lamp for a cornsnake and for some leopard geckos? I've become a long-term caretaker of one snake and three geckos and my house is too cold for them and the owner didn't give me any lamps. If possible I need lamps under 100$ so I can fundraise for them. I'm worried about them.

Amid all the bad and scary news here's a baby #gecko to brighten your day.
As I was talking with a friend, he told me about a cool security feature #OpenBSD has got. That is, limits scope of the browser. In the case Javascript escaped the sandbox, the damage is limited.
But really, is there a security bug in #Gecko or #Webkit with which Javascript can escape? :)
