I just want a web browser that isn't shit, please don't ruin Firefox!

There are always forks.

Fireforks

The forks will have trouble keeping up with browser development if the upstream enshittifies. Same reason chromium forks aren't worth much

It's Firefox open source that the community can fork?

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

Actually yes. Librewolf, Tor, and probably a dozen more are all forks of Firefox.
