Using a Firefox fork makes any difference? - eviltoast

Well, Mozilla seems to be making some pretty questionable decisions, So I’m considering switching browsers for the third (Is it the third?) time. The thing is, I really like the way Firefox works, so I’ve been trying out the more famous Forks like Waterfox and Librewolf, although I’m going for Floorp. However, I’m wondering: is using a fork enough? I mean, they are Forks maintained by other people, but is there a chance that whatever Mozilla does to Firefox could affect those Forks? Should I jump to a totally different browser like Vivaldi?

      Ads should be tailored to the content of the website they are on. Not to me in any way whatsoever.

      Then you might be interested in this new technology being tested by Mozilla that aims to replace tracking cookies.

          Then we continue to use anti-tracking extensions and block all ads. This is not for you.

              Like it or not, ads are still the most popular way to pay for online content. I despise ads and I hope some kind of micro-payment solution catches on and offers an alternative, but until then there needs to be a way to reward people for their work, so ads and full-on subscriptions it is.
