Looking for Lightweight and Good Firefox Alternatives
I used both Librewolf on linux and Waterfox on windows. Liked both browsers but chose Waterfox to continue with. Will not compare the performance of these browsers as used them on different systems. At least Waterfox was faster than Firefox on windows. Currently trying Floorp and Basilisk. I would suggest to check Mercury as well: https://thorium.rocks/mercury

Google's decision to deprecate JPEG-XL emphasizes the need for browser choice and free formats
Don't use Chrome. Try something, anything, else. The Thorium browser is fantastic, fast, and does basically everything Chrome does. If you're a Firefox person, consider trying Mercury, Waterfox, Pale Moon, or Basilisk. There is a whole world of rich browser forks that are specialized & often work better than their mainstream alternatives. Here, you can see they listened to us when large organizations didn't.

For Linux users, Junction is a FOSS browser picker that works just like Choosy does on macOS. These browser pickers are more flexible than selecting just one default browser, and being able to inspect URLs before opening them is a nice security feature.

Linux Browser Selector (FOSS)
Thats correct as stated in the description of the repo: 'The script is a combination of the functions from Junction and Picker on Linux -- much like Choosy on Mac, or BrowseRouter on Win.'
