Waterfox it is.
Long ago, the Four Fox Nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Firefox Nation attacked.
A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new developer, a script kiddy named Aang. And although his python skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Given python is air what are water, ice, blood, fire, lightning, combustion, earth, metal, and energy?
Ok, let's do this:
Air = Python Water = Javascript Ice = Typescript Fire = Java Lightning = Groovy Combustion = Kotlin Earth = C++ Metal = Rust Spirit = Assembly
Haven't heard of this before 😮
I just got Waterfox this morning. Pretty dope
there is a mobile waterfox too now
It's the only browser I have on my phone, it works beautifully.
Does it have ublock?
It has browser extensions, and you can install uBlock through that, so yes
Waterfox is Firefox.
I'm holding out for EarthFox
Its a fork and they can choose to include the changes they want from upstream. They've come out and said they're not adding this AI bullshit. Librewolf has done the same.
So yes, base is firefox, but it's not actually Firefox, in the same way edge uses chrome as its base (not exactly, but similar)
It is much different than this. Edge is built on the Chromium engine, but that's it. Waterfox is Firefox, as it's shipped by Mozilla, only with some theme changes and flags disabled.
Oh, I had thought they had some control of upstream merges if its a fork. Couldn't they choose not to include the upstream AI nonsense merges?
The code for AI is still included, it's simply disabled.
It's a fork of Firefox.
It is a set of patches on top of Firefox.
