Well, this is forking intolerable.

#Firefox is officially #enshittified.

It turned on the horrid "sponsored shortcuts" and "sponsored stories" without me asking.

Those stories are the last dadgum thing I ever want to see. I don't want more news about USFASH.

Smeg #Mozilla. I hope Google bumps them off the money-nipple and they crash and burn.

I'm going to try #WaterFox and #LibreWolf again.

#enshittification #e14n

I'm currently using Vivaldi, having switched from Brave, despite not being open source & based on chromium, they seem to be the 'good guys' at the moment.

I eagerly await Ladybird though.

Yeah, they seem decent, honestly.

My gripe with Vivaldi isn't that the UI isn't FOSS, but that it's based on Blink.

That's not a technical objection, and it's not directly an ethical objection, but it comes from my deep-seated desire to not propagate the Blink hegemony, having lived through the awful "This website is designed to be used with Internet Explorer" days.

Yeah, I kinda struggle with the current Blink connection, however Blink originated as a fork of Apple WebKit, which itself was a fork of KDE's KHTML, as a KDE enjoyer I look at is as using a displaced KDE project.... Yeah a stretch I know.

I mean, that's kind of like calling modern MacOS a Unix, but ok my man. ;)
