I honestly have no clue, personally.

I know i have to jump ship, but my choices are either chromium, or a fork of firefox, that may be slow to catch up with security / may not last.

I've got my eyes on librewolf, floorp and zen.

I'm especially watching https://ladybird.org/. A completely independent browser. But the dev has gotten himself in hot water iirc, but anything to get away from google and mozilla, i guess. Also, it's not complete.

We'll see what the future has in stock for us.

What is forcing you? Why do you have to jump ship.

This is not an endorsement to use Firefox further but I am curious about your phrasing.

Mainly that i don't want my data being sent to mozilla. But I've decided to stick to firefox for a little more, but this action from mozilla has dropped my trust in them.

I think @[email protected] hasn't yet been enlightened by the fact that one can block Mozilla's URLs and IPs to escape it. TOS for software is dumb and made to be broken, don't let anyone argue with you otherwise.

I've decided to stick to firefox for some time, but i don't trust mozilla anymore.

They've been enshittifying for the past few years, and this is a huge tipping point for me.

I'll take your advice, thanks

Andres Kling? I haven't seen anything about him recently to suggest he's done anything suspect.
