Summary: The Web has gone too far and Mozilla is acting like little but a Microsoft/Google subsidiary; this is why over the past 1+ years we’ve divested and reduced focus on the Web, which for the time being ought to be accessed by community-led projects (Mozilla Corporation doesn’t qualify as one)
FURTHER to our previous post, we thought it would be worthwhile showing in the form of a video the sorts of settings one needs to adjust in LibreWolf after installing it, assuming a smooth migration from Mozilla Firefox is desirable. To be most frank, ultimately it will be a good idea to get off the Web, where possible (or to the extent feasible), in favour of something like Gemini Protocol. When browsers become merely a canvas to throw anything at (even megabytes of JavaScript frameworks with hundreds of net sockets) we’re basically recreating Adobe Trash (Flash), this time with a fake ‘standards’ consortium to usher it in, calling it “open” as if monoculture has legitimacy (all the major browsers are Chromium clones and Firefox is financially connected to Google; it helps give an illusion of fair competition). █
