Librewolf devs are censoring free speech and rant about “Lunduke” or “far-right” and banning everyone mentioning that pic.twitter.com/WpAC8CM0MZ

Excellent timing considering how more people are switching to alternative browsers this week due to the firef*x TOS change. The left needs to learn how to pick and choose their battles better. Can't have shit.

What are the limitations to Brave Shields? The FF forks have to have better blocking and anti-tracking overall if Brave led their Manifest V3 article with:
There wouldn't be a second bullet point if Brave Shields could just do everything those extensions could in V2.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Because the two points are completely separate from each other. Brave is baked in to handle V3 that brave supports itself.
But if you want extensions toward v2 they'll support them too as long as there are devs that do so.
Brave shields limitations is mostly just the small and easy interface. It's not that configurable and that can be a plus. I don't need to spend time finding blocklist to configure myself if one of them decides to no longer be maintained or whatever.
Like brave does enough to let me ban evade reddit and even more lot of sites struggle to log me in because it never recognizes me.
I think of you went further with librewolf+unlock+no script, etc. you will start getting broken websites lol. I know I did when I tried it

You are a dev for a Firef*x fork in a chat room for that fork's development. Why the frick are you giving this issue the time of day to write an entire essay about why you kicked a guy? If you want to ban him just ban him and say it was for being off topic. Why do you have an off-topic room? This is a development channel, not a fricking social hub.
Guess I might have to think about jumping browsers again. It would be a shame since I really enjoy the neurodivergentally belligerent privacy features it has.

It's their community, they're the one who write code and they can do whatever they want with it. lunduke is against trans people and most of the devs there are trans: they have no obligation to allow pro-lunduke people in their community
Also Librewolf is an incredibly niche and unimportant project: they were just looking for people to harass at this point

If they don't like Lunduke they can just ban him and ignore his shit instead of writing a wall of text that's filled with sneed. But that would be sensible (and not
enough)

All of these freakouts do is help me determine what FOSS not to use. I'd rather just use Brave or some chromium fork than Firef*x or Librewolf at this point

Can't customize the CSS, no tree style vertical tabs to replace Sidebery, vanilla tab scrolling and vertical tabs suck butt, performance is butt I swear closing like 10 tabs at once in Chrome makes it freeze for a bit. Seems like half the time I restart my PC or force close the browser Chrome forgets which tabs I had open, doesn't ever happen with Firef*x. Chrome blows, Firef*x for life

I totally agree, but the retoric is pissing me off. When the devs explicitly state that the project must be political, i.e. frick all right-wingers, I get afraid that I don't fit into their narrow box. I don't want to use software from a potentially hostile source.
Nix(OS) has the same issue, but ikb that case it's just the "community" spazzing out. The core project is still driven by Eelco (The founder that the
jannies kicked out). I will continue to use both, but will stay away from the communities going forward.

Totally, I would never contribute my time to developing a
