Friendship ended with Firefox: Floorp is my friend now

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •Floorp is what I recommend to people, who insist on sticking with Firefox.
As you pointed out, the obvious, if Firefox goes, so will all these many Firefox clones, because none of them have expressed interest in hard-forking Firefox, and going independent.
But, Floorp has two advantages.
1) They do not break things. LibreWolf, will break something (often), then blame Firefox. Which only further hurts, Firefox, which in turn only hurts, LibreWolf. -- It is a snake eating its tail. I think the 1x Floorp broke something, they patched it right away, and they owned up to their issue. They did not try to pass the blame, as LibreWolf does.
2) Floorp is very similar to Vivaldi Browser. If Firefox, goes, it would be nice not to have a big learning curve, if you need to switch browsers. If you've learned Floorp, you've more or less learned, Vivaldi, in many ways.
These are two things, I believe can help users in the long run.

in reply to Linux Is Best • • •@Linux floorp is a nice browser, if somewhat needing a lot of tweaks. I use it as part of my isolated browsing system
Librewolf is my main personal browser and it hasn't really broken anything for me. I don't use it for streaming services or anything requiring DRM
There is 1 site that is buggy (canva) in librewolf (i use floorp for that) but everything else is fine so I don't know what people who have big problems with it are trying to do other than using DRM services
