It seems netscape is back as chromium fork, at this time I don’t think it is surprising for AOL to use this moment to distribute by using nostalgia over old Netscape, never used the original because I started to use computers a bit before Netscape was already dead and started by using “Internet Explorer” in the past

Mozilla has a bit of history back in the day but I was not using a lot and switched to chromium browser when it started to gain traction, I used a bit firefox but had issues of Firefox just following web standard trend instead of making something different from other browsers

    I don’t get it, why do you think it’s bad that ffox is standards compliant? It is the thing we want in a browser, otherwise what’s the point of having standards?

      I specified “trend”, like if Google deprecates a lot of extensions because move to manifest V3, they still gives support for V2 extensions unlike the period of 2014-2019 that they was just copying exactly the standard and was like… what’s the point of using this? They was just supporting everything the same, why bother with firefox?

        Because Firefox is less data-greedy? Hasn’t got as much telemetry one cannot disable as Chrome/Chromium?
