There was a time I chose Firefox over the Chromium browser without a second thought. But nowadays, installing and opening Firefox seems like a time-consuming, very bloated experience.
Too many unnecessary features, promotions, sponsored links, and widgets are filled on the homepage. All the settings are now more complex, and there is a lot to set up after a fresh install.
When I compare modern Firefox with Firefox ESR, I feel like I am using browsers like Vivaldi or Opera instead of Firefox. Seriously, Firefox must consider releasing a browser like Brave Origin (Firefox Origin or something).
Isn’t anybody else frustrated with the new Firefox changes? If yes, what practical solutions exist? Debloat using any script or install any forks (no forks seem to be good; some are outdated, some are too much hardened, some are just not for daily browsing, etc.).
I’m just looking for a browser like Ungoogled Chromium but for Firefox (Unmozillaed Firefox).
How often do you set up a new browser?
Doesn’t those follow you if you set up sync?
I am indifferent. They could do better but everything else is chrome.
Firefox forks and whatnot just don’t do much for me. I have zen, blorb, and IronFox (probably my favorite of the three) but none are compelling enough to switch.
It’s not just about setting up my primary browser, but on a virtual machine, which I don’t even tweak most times or in the case of multiple users.
The sync feature only synced browser history, bookmarks, extensions, etc., but not any Firefox settings for me.
