Firefox is really innovating

Yeah I'm switch off Firefox finally. I tried Floorp it does have some the same AI stuff you have to turn off. Waterfox doesn't have it in at all. So Waterfox it is.
- Waterfox is my favorite for sure, very lightweight too.
  
  Discord doesn't like it when it comes to voice-chat in the Android app, sadly (even though I know we should all leave Discord, but Revolt and Matrix can barely hold candles to the flame of its incredibly sophisticated streaming system), but yes, I've been on Waterfox for some time now.
  
  You are absolutely right ✅
- For future readers, yes, Floorp is a real browser
  
  Honestly the way they (by default) change home tab background for each visit is absolutely adorable.
  All my 'puters have Water, Wolf, and Floo.
- Floorp
  I don't think I will ever be able to pass past this name. It's a name of something that sci-fi comedic cartoon will create for a passing joke.
  
  Feels like 'plumbus'
  
  I actually use floorp. It's literally the most customizable Firefox fork. It's the only Firefox fork that allows me to have my tab bar exactly correct the way I want it.
  But yeah name's stupid. I kind of love it though. It's so non-serious
  
  It's also a good verb. "I'll floorp it later". "Send me the link, I'll floorp it to myself".
  Does it support profiles? If so, I'll give it a floorp, just to see how it floorps.
  
  I'm still not convinced that name isn't an elaborate joke. Like I could download the browser and be typing this comment on it and still think "man, they went all-in on this prank"
