Good firefox alternatives (with addons) ?
| Try Waterfox or Firefox-ESR.
Falkon is still under development. Give it some time. I don't think it'll have ff addons, but maybe it gets kde-service-menues once.
Actually what addons you're dependent on?
| >>305765 i'm dependent on httpseverywhere, noscript, ublock, things like that. I heard about waterfox but never heard reviews about it. Is it good? Bad? Xd?
>>305768 well, there's this soros bullshit, also it starts adding lots of "features" that i eventually don't need, because of that firefox is more and more like jewgle chrome. So that's why i search an alternative for it.
| >>305726 Don't know what the state of the PC client is, but IceCat is pretty good as well. Both the mobile and desktop clients should have support for FF addons. There's always For browser/OrFox for when you get *really* dirty
| *Tor Browser
| >>305874 i remember installing ice on windows, and being confused by the fact that it may have support but doesn't have the magic "get addons for free 100% without viruses" button, so i don't know how to get them and put them to work. But I'll try one more time then. What about waterfox vs icecat? Better, worse?

Maybe you're listening at the wrong places.
>Is it good? Bad? Xd?
It's pretty much like Firefox-ESR, with more privacy aware preconfiguration. Originally its development was focused on performance, now it's more on ethics. For me the most important thing is, that I can use the "organize search engines" addon, which is gr8 with "context-search".

>well, there's this soros bullshit
What do you mean by that? Are you one of these guys who thinks that everything is basically ok except that evil soros guy? The let me remind you that people are replacable, and that it's the whole system which sucks, not just some picked representatives of it.
| >>305963 tbh i don't know well soros and his evil doings, just saw reviews saying "xd, ff, soros, evil", if it's wrong or if you have more information, you're welcome. But actually the thing i mostly don't like about ff is this fishy "we care about privacy, but we're totally like chrome, there's no visual differences but we '''''respect''''' your privacy" look they got lately. So i thought a foss browser with a less fishy look would be a better solution.
| >>305959 so it's basically just a configurated firefox? or more? And how is it compared to icecat?
| >>306352
Well the only "evil" about soros is that "he made" much money with speculation (gambling) at stock market and on currencies. The reason why he is hated more than other money-sacks is because hes spending much money on political (neo-)"liberal" movement and standing more in publicity (eihter for popularizing (neo!)liberal agenda or just to avoid paying taxes). A lot of "Anti-Soros" campains have similliarties with antisemite logic and are not low on substance.

>So it's basically just a configurated firefox? or more?
Well, I wouldn't say it this way. Its pretty similiar to Firefox-ESR. If you want to know it exactly read the documentation or the code: https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox
>And how is it compared to icecat?
Icecat is still a thing? Oo

| I used ff for a long time, but recently it started doing naughty things so i was looking for foss alternatives, and found but none of them had firefox addons. the chrome-firefox addons are locked or something? Why with qupzilla(falkon), done completely on firefox, i can't set ff addons?
