    Hardened by default, no telemetry, no Pocket, virtually everything Mozilla-related removed, and timely updates unlike some other forks. It is like the Ungoogled Chromium equivalent of Firefox. Since I do not like the company it is the perfect option for me.

        They are a for-profit company including laying off staff but their CEO still makes CEO money even while the company is struggling. Not to mention if you are trying to degoogle that is where Mozilla makes the bulk of its income. That’s just a few things of many, they’ve also made stupid decisions like leaving Thunderbird out in the cold for years or that whole Colorways thing they wasted time on. Not to mention I don’t actually even like Firefox the browser. I use librewolf strictlty out of principle and not because I actually prefer it over chromium. I think it is inferior in most ways but I am opposed to the centralization so here we are.

          Just as a sidenote, Thunderbird is not part of the same company as firefox and was part of the Mozilla foundation until 2020. Thunderbird is no longer “out in the cold”. There is a new version (115) that you might want to check out if you like thunderbird.

          I don’t want to engage with the rest.

            I am aware. I have been a Thunderbird user for at least 15 years which is why I am unhappy with their general treatment of it over the years as a second class citizen. But at least it is in a better place now.

          Which they often half-ass, then discontinue like Lockwise. A bit like Google is handling their projects.
