LibreWolf will likely be a good replacement.

My biggest problem with these forks is they’re still reliant on Firefox itself.

I feel like we need a clean break.

WebKit (e.g. GNOME Web, vimb, surf) is always there, and Servo is coming on leaps and bounds.

Also, for your consideration, there are:

  • w3m (text-based, but supports displaying images with sixel, kitty, or framebuffer)
  • Links2 (surprisingly usable)
  • Dillo (better engine, but less features)
  • NetSurf (better again, but you can't use a custom search engine and the JS engine doesn't seem to work)
  • Chawan (text-based, but actually supports modern HTML and CSS; can display images using sixel or kitty; also supports gemini[^1])
  • Ladybird (bad dev, good product)
  • Stargate & Duckling (HTTP to Gemini[^1] proxies, so you can browse the web with Lagrange)
  • Pale Moon & Basilisk (based on a fork of Gecko; still use XUL; may be a bit less secure, but disable JS and you might be alright)

Of course Librewolf, Waterfox, Tor Browser, ans Mullvad Browser are doing their best to resist the bullshit.

[^1]: The network protocol; not the LLM.

I hear you and I agree, but for now it's the best we've got.
