Well guys we had a good run, free and open source software is officially over

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 20 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Not entirely. There is LibreWolf (Formerly IceWolf) on desktop. https://librewolf.net

Mull is apparently an Android option that's also a fork, but I'm just installing it now, and can also say its only on FDroid.

I know man it's a joke lol. There's a bajillion forks of firefox that are mostly better than vanilla firefox itself. FOSS will never die.

Librewolf will die if Firefox dies. They don't have the resources to maintain a rendering engine

Mull works well on android. Firefox login works too.
