What do y'all think about the floorp browser? - sh.itjust.works

Yeah, that’s the question, found out bout this browser some time ago and got curious on what do people around here think about it, seems to be open sorce and firefox based so… Does it have a general good reputation among those who know it? (Floorp’s oficial website: https://floorp.app/ [https://floorp.app/] )

first I’ve heard of it, but I’m skeptical of their claim to deliver security fixes faster than firefox.
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
Oh so they’re claiming that, i see Thanks!
Show threadphoenix591Aug 5, 2023
thats what their site says, at least when ran through google translate
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
Hmm, interesting

I’ve been using it. It’s fast and does its job.
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
Ooh, nice to know!

It’s really nice, I love the sidebar (after moving it to the left) and the workspaces feature is convenient
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
I see, oh and yeah, that makes sense, will edit this link there too thank you!

To be honest, I get the appeal, but I like my browser to be on the safer side, so I prefer OG Firefox, because it just works for me, and it’s got hundreds of people delivering fixes as fast as they can (at least in Arch Linux). It’s got tabs and containers, don’t need nothing more.

It’s all pixelated!

Am I missing something? On github it says the main language is English, but the website is all in Japanese.
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
Giving that a quick look, I’d suppose they mean like, main language they want to have a translation to, maybe?

The developers are in japan

I discovered it last week, it became my main browser. Just feels snappier than Firefox and Librewolf
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
Ooh, that’s nice!

Doesn’t seem very well known but glad it is gecko based
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
Yeah that’s a great part!

This is the first time I hear about it and I have to say it looks really promising. I’m a sucker for Vivaldi style customization but I really don’t want to use Chromium based browser. Definitely will give Floorp a chance. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
Oh well, you’re welcome!
Show threadTauAug 5, 2023
Tried for some time and it’s great! Though I prefer using qutebrowser
Show threadQuillsAug 5, 2023
Hmm, understandable

First time checking it out, and I’ve never seen a firefox distro. Gonna try it out.

Oof lol

I dont see the use. Its just Firefox with some light CSS, some Addons

Librewolf and Mull are the only Firefox forks I would use. And even these… Arkenfox user.js and custom userChrome on official Firefox Flatpak is the best option.
