 What browser can we now use? 
 Use Firefox but fine tune it

 Don’t use forks 
don’t use shit with no eyes on them or ones that will shit on your experience 
Use what gets most eyes on the code and fine tune it.
Use betterfox 
 Is it on mobile? 
 On Android but running FF beta

 Why not use a fork? 
 Couple of reasons
They’re fully dependent on the original software
They have a lot less eyes reviewing them
Often with 1 or couple of people
They may eventually fizzle out and end development 
It costs money and time not enough to go around  
 Yeah that's my problem with forks. They may not get security updates in a timely manner 
 I do like the NoScript extension for Firefox on my old Windows laptop however. 
 It's open source. GrapeneOS is based on AndroidOS without Google's tentacles. Tor Browser is a modified version of FireFox LibreWolf is anothet great privacy-first fork of FF. There's no need to bounce from FF forks. I haven't used their main browser as a daily driver for years. Maybe soon we will finally get GraphenOS Vanadium for desktop. It is by far the best browser for privacy and security on mobile.
