PSA: Chromium-based "alternatives" to Google Chrome are not good enough. Stop recommending them. Firefox is the only good alternative.

• Servo

  Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine

  

According to Wikipedia, the Linux Foundation took over from Mozilla back in November and the website gives the impression that they intend to continue. That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't actually dead, but I can hope, right?

Imagine the corporation not being any better today. Even if there was not a single precedent of Chromium connecting to their domains, and we know there was at least for years since that post, causing the creator of uBlock Origin to write an extension that would block it, it would still be extremely naive to trust in the power of community oversight so much that you would put it above the risk of using anything from Google.

• NewPipe

  2,059 28,707 9.8 Java

  A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android.

  

you can use newpipe https://newpipe.net/

• openbsd-wip

  27 262 9.6 C++

  OpenBSD work in progress ports

I'd stay away from Pale Moon, it's got some very scummy developers.

• Bitwarden

  1,056 14,371 9.8 C#

  The core infrastructure backend (API, database, Docker, etc). (by bitwarden)

  

LastPass is known to have shitty performance (in Firefox, I don't know about Chrome). I'd suggest you try Bitwarden, which is open source and very nice to use.

• Fenix

  750 6,681 7.7 Kotlin

  Discontinued ⚠️ Fenix (Firefox for Android) moved to a new repository. It is now developed and maintained as part of: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android

  

This has been a MASSIVE issue for me: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731

• uBlock

  2,992 43,126 9.9 JavaScript

  uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

The uBlock Origin author himself says that it works best in Firefox. No Firefox means a worse uBlock Origin. And with Manifest V3 coming, uBlock Origin may cease to exist on Chromium browsers anyway.

• windows-rs

  98 9,857 7.7 Rust

  Rust for Windows

  

More specifically? The only thing I can find is this crate, and it's just a bunch of Windows APIs. Doesn't tell me anything about securely writing a mixed binary.

• policy-templates

  Policy Templates for Firefox

  

Disabling automatic updates: you can use a policies.json file for this. The DisableAppUpdate key allows you to disable updates. There's also AppAutoUpdate, but I'm not sure if that still nags you (I don't use either, so I don't know the details).
