Forks of Firefox like LibreWolf and Floorp are about to become more popular.

Don't use bare bones Firefox people. Use a fork with all the dumb bullshit stripped out like Arkenfox, Betterfox, or Librewolf.

I refuse to use a product named Floorp on principle. I'm sorry, I have to draw the line somewhere with these stupid fucking naming conventions. Floorp, Ploopy, Dorfy, just fuck off already.

Floorp has it for you. You can browse it on floorp

Me making a fork of Floorp that's literally just the exact same code verbatim but with a different name

Though in Floorp's… :dying-inside: … defense… フロープ probably sounds at least slightly less embarrassing to monolingual Japanese ears who'd have different sound associations, more "flow" and "floor" than Floam Flubber Floop's Fooglies.

Zen Browser also exists as a Firefox fork. Not sure how good it is.

Zen Browser Meh. It looks so weird to me. I guess I'm a trad in this regard but I like all my browser bullshit at the top like a normie.

I actually don't have any browser shit visible in zen lol. Entire screen space for the site.

That's cool. I tried it and it had the sidebar on the left. Its still in the pics on the site as well.

you can click on the book looking button at the top left to set it to auto-hide the sidebar, there's also mods you can install in the settings that might change it
