  • privacytests.org

  • I always see people say this, but its patently false.

  • iceraven-browser

    Iceraven Browser

  • It’s not much, but Iceraven does exist.

    For example the Streamlink project and a native video player of your choice like MPC-HC (or VLC or MPC-BE) are way more performant than any of the browsers ever will be, and way better for battery life if you're on a laptop. I only view the chat from my browser (if I care) and always watch the video in a native player.

    Media Player Classic

  • Firefox-UI-Fix

    🦊 I respect proton UI and aim to improve it.

  • I still use Firefox daily. I flirted with Vivaldi instead and it has some benefits, but I just prefer Firefox. It's worrying however to see it, in some ways, become worse. The relatively recent UI changes for instance were not great, to the point that people were driven to creating a way to revert some of that; https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/wiki/Installation-Guide is something I use myself to get some of old Photon back.
