Using firefox but concerned now

Read about some alternatives:

Edit 2/28: It seems there is no general consensus if we should switch and/or to what.

    Firefox. I can’t imagine they would do something stupid like this with the little marketshare they have, but nothing surprises me anymore.

    Does ublock work with any of these alternatives?

      IIRC, it’s one of the few add-ons that does work with Librewolf.

      That said, the main reason I don’t use is, if I’m remembering the right browser, it just goes way too far with the privacy protections. There’s literally a single thing that’s a deal breaker for me, and that’s the inability to use dark mode on websites. It’s absolutely blinding to the point of being essentially unusable for me.

        I’ve never heard of librewolf preventing dark mode. Garuda’s firedragon browser was based on librewolf before switching to floorp, and it came with the darkreader extension by default.

          Hm, maybe I’m remembering a different browser when it comes to the extensions thing. I’m thinking of one that used an older version of Firefox’s addon system, so has all of three maintained ones.

          Well, either way, is dark reader.actually any good? Every non-native solution for dark mode I’ve ever tried has been a complete piece of crap, just lazily inverting the page contents, images often included.
