Trying out fennecโ€ฆ This works okay. I donโ€™t love how close to Firefox it is but it seems like a good browser

Brief testing with ironfox, this feels like most of librewolf- It asked to install ublock right away, uses secure DNS by default, and explained to me the exact capacity and occasion which would lead to it contacting google or mozilla. Iโ€™m transferring my whole setup because this is fantastic. I have yet to check iceraven but itโ€™s a fork of fennec, while ironfox is a fork of mull, and if mull didnโ€™t seem to be a garbagefire this past year or so, it would be my browser of choice anyways.

So iceraven is a fork of a fork?

Itโ€™s so much worse than that, I went to write a joke but it turns out thereโ€™s a dead browser called fenix making it MUCH harder to explain or know

edit: ironfox is also a fork of a fork. A fork of a fork of a fork I thinkโ€ฆ
