Und WebKit-Browser lassen sich nicht mit AddOns wie <em>uBlock Origin</em> anpassen.</p><p>Wo bleiben die alternativen Rendering-Engines? Da gibt zum einen <a href="https://ladybird.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ladybird</a>. Das sah lange nach einem Ein-Mann-Projekt aus, aber inzwischen ist es eine Organisation. Ob es da mittlerweile mehrere Entwickler:innen gibt, wäre zu prüfen.

Mike Kuketz 🛡<p>Mozilla hat die FAQs von Firefox geändert: Statt „Daten werden nicht an Werbetreibende verkauft“ steht nun, dass persönliche Daten geschützt sind. Auch der Hinweis auf „kostenlos“ wurde geändert. Mozilla betont, keine Daten zu verkaufen, die Änderungen seien rechtlich nötig. Die Praxis bleibt jedoch gleich – persönlich halte ich die Aufregung für übertrieben. Als Alternative zu Firefox sei LibreWolf erwähnt. 👇</p><p><a href="https://www.kuketz-blog.de/librewolf-und-tor-browser-sichere-und-datenschutzfreundliche-browser-teil-3/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kuketz-blog.de/librewolf-und-t</span><span class="invisible">or-browser-sichere-und-datenschutzfreundliche-browser-teil-3/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mozilla</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firefox</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>librewolf</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>browser</span></a></p>

Yet their browser market share keeps dropping. Sure, it’s their own doing. But also if Mozilla throws in the towel no fork will survive for long. And here it’s probably about 6 mo. As far as I can tell no fork can handle the amount of work needed to even be on top of security and stay at feature parity is completely out of the question. Some even officially said they can’t be a proper fork.</p><p>So, is a switch the right way to apply pressure or is it the finishing tumble?</p>
