    Just a general question for the participants here:

    Do you think firefox forks are maintained/more secure than the OG Firefox from Mozilla? I get that the forks have better privacy features enabled by default or useful features which make it functionally better…BUT…in terms of straight up security and responding to exploits and patching quickly, etc, would OG Firefox from Mozilla be better? Just curious what ya’ll think.

        Yea that was my thinking. If you can just tweak regular Firefox to suit your needs, and it’s kept up to date and very actively maintained, why not just use regular firefox?

            Harder, but still doable. My main concern is security and speed of exploit patching. More inconvenience is an okay tradeoff for that. But I do agree that tweaking it on mobile is annoying. It’s also missing a lot of the flags that the Desktop browser has.
