Ok, this fork of Firefox actually is pretty great:

@zenbrowser@fosstodon.org is Firefox under the hood, but with a UX more like Arc. It’s already had over 2 million downloads. I am trying it out for a week as my primary browser and will report back.

@bluGill@fedia.io @rumschlumpel@feddit.org So far, the "evil" is not in the Firefox codebase. It's only in the Mozilla privacy policy.

Removing actual bad things from the Chromium codebase has proven to be very difficult to maintain.

@nicolaiofdk@mastodon.social Not yet. I am going to keep using Firefox until Servo or Ladybird are mature enough. Mozilla is being dumb, but it's not yet insufferable for me.

We need more browser competition.

Switching to a Chromium-based browser (Arc, Brave, Vivaldi, Edge, et al) does not increase browser competition. It just further strengthens Google’s ability to control the web as a platform.

We don’t need a fork of Firefox.

We need a fork of Mozilla.

@nlnet@nlnet.nl @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz Do you know of similar resources within EU countries? If not, could you fund some legal experts to create these?

 

Builder Blueprints is a collection of free legal agreement templates for the most common needs of a startup, small business, or social enterprise. I did a quick review of them and they’re good. They were created by ex/ante, the Ford Foundation, and law firm Morrison Foerster.

Is anyone away of a similar collection for EU or SV-based organizations?

@TechDesk@flipboard.social @Gizmodo I considered writing this exact exploit scenario as an argument for opposing the proposed EU #ChatControl regulation, but thought it would be too tinfoil hat and yet here we are.
