List of Firefox-based browsers
In light of the Firefox debacle, I'd like to gather here with the community to build a list of known Firefox forks. Focus will be on open-source, usability and privacy-friendliness.
- Please comment any missing browser or information !
- Any contribution to this list will be highly appreciated !
Notes
- Privacy-focused forks which remove or disable telemetry should not be affected by the TOS changes
- Using Firefox Sync is however not recommended as that will go through Mozilla servers unfortunately !
