Just stumbled upon this project, seems rather new as my DNS blocked its domain by default for being too new hehe… Anyone had a chance to try it yet? Its got some hefty promises, like having equally strong privacy features as Librewolf. I’ll be giving it ago at least, almost sounds a bit too good to be true…

    Their privacy is better than regular Firefox due to disabling telemetry etc, but librewolf does way more to protect against fingerprinting. The browser itself is quite good, although it shows that it’s in early development. Also I disabled send a do not track signal as it is used for fingerprinting

    Optimised for peak performance? Are there benchmarks to back this up?

    Edit - their docs have benchmarks. They do not appear to have comparative benchmarks

    edit - lol amazing

    I like it so far. The weakness seems to be the size of the dev team and if the project has a future. Hopefully they are planning accordingly.

    I went through a handful of threads and it seems mostly positive so far. One choice I wasn’t sure about was that they’re considering having a built in adblocker (based on something that’s not ublock origin). I would prefer if the browser just shipped with ublock origin instead.

    As far as privacy focused browsers go, Mull Mullvad Browser seems to be the best still. I was exploring Zen for my day to day browser.

    I love options but does anybody else wish devs would put their heads together and focus on improving ONE app rather than launch a millon similar forks?
