    Sure, sorry if fork wasn’t the right term, I was just saying LibreWolf is Firefox sans Mozilla. The LibreWolf team is very privacy focused.

    Full disclosure I use Vivaldi - which is chrome - because I’m a filthy heathen.

      It’s not though, unless they’re building their own engine.

        I mean by that logic Nextcloud is just a rebranded skin of Owncloud and Libre Office is just a rebranded skin of Open Office. I’m sure someone can chime in with a more damning real world example but the important distinction with a fork is not “do they entirely replace most of the codebase” but instead it’s “how well do they maintain the project” and “how much value do they add through improvements and features”

      Vivaldi is chrom_ium_. Been trying out the last month on macOS. Great browser, although it’s funny how for some settings you get taken to a different page that looks 100% like Chrome except with Vivaldi branding.

      Vivaldi on iOS doesn’t feel as great though – less ‘native’. Certain gestures and animations just don’t quite fit.

      Shoutout to Webkit-based Orion for both platforms. Slowly gravitating to that
