But firefox is funded by google and has been making questionable decisions for years, LibreWolf is the only fork I would use at this point but I think waterfox really proves my point though that its not really the impossible undertaking people seem to be making it out to be. Waterfox even support BOTH chrome and firefox addons somehow and they have no where near the amount of funding or manpower Mozilla does.
No LibreWolf IS the only fork of Firefox I'll use (meaning i dont use mozilla's branded firefox). Although I guess there is one other firefox fork i use now that i think about it: Tor Browser.
I also use Vivaldi, which doesn't depend on Google for funding and has its own built in adblock that isn't based on either manifest version. In terms of UI vivaldi is completly unmatched, There's a japanese firefox fork that attempts to copy it, but its nowhere near as good.
