What does scnr mean?
I pay for Kagi. I have no idea why I'd ever want to use this when things like librewolf, floorp, and helium exist...
What's the pitch?
Aligned incentives. The FF forks are based on code from a company that is controlled opposition/competition to Google. It will capitulate. And then you're dependent on the volunteers that pour blood, sweat, and tokens into maintaining a fork that rips out that capitulation. I'm tired, man. I am a daily FF driver, but I'm ready for browser driven by a company with better aligned incentives. I too pay for Kagi. Have been watching the browser bit for awhile to see if a Linux build would land. Or for Ladybird to mature. Frankly, anything other than chromium or firefox.
Orion
- not open source
- security and privacy can't be publicly audited
FF forks
- open source
- can be publicly audited
Ladybird
- Run by a questionable person known to say questionable things
Servo
- Our only hope. Developed by Igalia, top notch. FF fork maintainers should shift their efforts to ship a browser using the Servo engine when it becomes production ready.
