 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

 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
