@melroy @ricardo @nixCraft I think Firefox is the bare minimum, its possible to hardent it, but for simplicity, those options have some adventages, but for libre wolf, I think it's a small team, so maby update wont come as fast as firefox. For Floorp, dunno who is behind it, but heard good thing about it, so, I'll probably give it a shot.

@ricardo @nixCraft I'm curious how long until #firefox disable it. I'm using @zenbrowser for a few weeks and I'm positively surprised! @Vivaldi also works great. Good news there are fantastic alternatives :)

@lpryszcz @ricardo @nixCraft @zenbrowser @Vivaldi I'd like to believe that this won't happen. Firefox does get some revenue from Google, but I doubt that Google will pressure it into limiting ad blocking.

@doctor_zoidberg @lpryszcz @ricardo @nixCraft @zenbrowser @Vivaldi Antitrus lawsuit from US gouvernement will probably for them to turn on their user, a way or an other, without Google revenue

@lpryszcz @ricardo @nixCraft @zenbrowser @Vivaldi Vivaldi unfortunately does run on the Chromium backend. The question is how long they can maintain a fork and keep Google's uselessness out.

@ricardo @nixCraft oh, for not advanced users, like mom or dad, librewolf is no go. Can't remember fullscreen, can't set dark theme, it's not easy to set some sites keep paswords. Floorp is the browser for people, for advanced users - librewolf.

@hindsight @ricardo @nixCraft so cool! So you are an exception of average user or average of average user?

My opinion - average user web browse as farming in greenhouse: he plants dozen or less sites on start page, it's some social, some shoping, some communall and browse inside those plants.

Librewolf forgets every thing average user needs.

So that's why i suggest floorp. I can set floorp for "mom" and it will work later forever. Librewolf - only one session. Can you understand?

@ricardo @nixCraft I believe @hindsight was ever so gently pointing out to you that "mom and dad" is at best a clumsy shorthand for "nontechnical user" and at worst actively hurting your ability to connect with end users and their needs

"Average nontechnical user" is sure longer to type but doesn't insult anyone or perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
