So Zen is safe (for now). So seems like we have:

librewolf
zen
waterfox

as the privacy focused - fuck you ai - alternatives.

I wonder how much it actually costs to keep a browser up-to-date. They spend more each year just on maintaining Firefox than Rockstar did on the record breaking budget of GTA V.

Leaving mine [here](https://s.team/y25/hcwfwcf?l=english). My first year with 0% windows. 46% new releases. Baldur's Gate 3 is my most played game, and I guess it will be my most played game in 2026 😆

89% linux 11% deck is my breakdown.

For me it sucks because the ASSTASTIC star wars outlaws garbage launcher would get stuck open after you exited the game, and steam would still think the game was running when it wasn't. So it logged like a billion sw outlaws hours and has that as my number 1 game even when I only played a tiny bit of it and didn't like it at all. Bleh.

My REAL number 1 played game was Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon. SOOOO GOOD. Absolutely loved it. It deserves that number 1 spot!

Please take all the time you want / need! Mechanicus 1 was SOOO good in the mid game, but the end game was pointless and boring since the battles became completely broken and basically didn't work at all. But the style, writing, general gameplay, rpg elements... SO GOOD. I just hope they focus a bit on balance for this one.

How did I not know there was a FOSS version of this game!.
absolutely loved this on my old amiga!

I would be <3 if they have the old music "there's a killer on the loose and he coming for you... killa.... kiiiillllla" but that will be IP

Desperately hoping Servo-based (since, IIRC, Servo's browser is a "reference" implementation) browsers with an open and community-serving/supported ethos start rolling out.

"Trusted" software company is a low bar in 2025, and Mozilla is an excellent example of how low that bar is; I do not trust them in the slightest. They suck, and I am nearly as grateful for Waterfox insulating me from their latest whims as I am for Linux insulating me from Microsoft.

I remember Vivaldi's argument for not being open-source as being that they're just a Chromium skin, so someone could just "steal" all their front-end. I have absolutely no intention of using Chromium (where I can avoid it, I know many apps are Chromium-based).

As long as the "AI" remains disableable I can keep using a firejailed Firefox as my second browser, behind Pale Moon. I refuse to ever use anything Chrome-ish.

I miss the good old days!

Quoting: emphySome people, when seeing such success, wonder how they can monetise it better. Team cherry wondered how they could better thank their fans.

In fact, I think their approach is THE best way to monetize considering their circumstances.

It baffles me when I see a little indie game, that has been released for like 1 year, has maybe 500 reviews, mostly positive, and then I scroll down and see the effen thing already has like 2 pieces of DLC for it.

And any interest I had in said game vanishes immediately, in fact I often put such games in the ignore list, and this is more common then it should be.

Steam has something like 30 million users logged in at any given time, even if you take away bots, alt accounts and people who just don't buy games, and just play free to play game as service garbage, you are still left I'd say with at the very least 15-20 million potential buyers.

How moronic one has to be to believe that the answer to making more money out of their little indie game, which has sold maybe 5-10k copies at best, is to release effen DLC for it... yeah, let us milk the few people who bought our game for a few extra bucks.

No, you should try and pursue the millions of people who haven't bought it, that's where the potential lies, and you do that by making the purchase more attractive, and keeping churning out free content for it is a fantastic way to do that, plus you build a ridiculous amount of customer loyalty

I had a weird problem the other day with Steam OS. I was in the privacy settings when Steam OS suddenly crashed, displaying a persistent green screen of death.

I shut down my machine for 10 seconds, then turned it back on. The SSD wasn't being recognized. I had to shut it down and turn it back on again for it to work.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of issue ?

This is the very first time I've had an SSD crash like this...

You can never go wrong with a free expansion because if it disappoints, you didn't spend a dime on it to begin with.

Quoting: kuhpunktWhat does that even mean.

It means you will use AI and you will like it. There is no escape. Consume!

I mean I know the Mozilla hate train is always loaded with pitchforks and ready to leave the station, but isn't that a bit disingenuous? So far Mozilla have stayed true to their first statement and AI is always optional. Should that change I will uninstall Firefox in a heartbeat but until then I'm perfectly happy with it as my default browser. I don't see AI being any different from other services like search, email etc in that I will use it if it respects my privacy.

Well no, because right now it's just words, the settings to turn it all off are hidden behind flags you have to know how to find to disable.

You're referring to the different chat bot providers that are optional and can be turned off in the settings menu? To even remotely compare this to what Google's planning with Chrome borders on FUD.

I'm tired (of cards), boss.

Same, I hate them.
I feel like cards are more often than not a crutch in tabletop games to emulate computer game mechanics. To put that back into a computer game seems... nonsensical.

Every time someone mentions declining market share and uses that as a reason to introduce something horrible into Firefox, I (figuratively) bang my head on the wall. They have an audience – users that care about privacy, customizability and being different than Chrome. And they do everything they can to drive them away in favour of some imaginary Chrome users that can be convinced to switch over to a Chrome-copy and has the technical knowledge to make the switch. That does not make sense.

They will always be the nerd that imitates the popular jock and ends up alienating everyone.

The first one was so awesome on the A500. Good memories!

Quoting: doragasuAnother verified game that shouldn't...

Have you tested it with this update?

No, but I have seen how it runs on a video from Deck Wizard and it runs the same it did previously (that is pretty poorly).

Oh cool! I have GP1 for the Amiga and GP2 for PC in their original boxes.

I have playtime 60% Linux, 32% Steam Deck and 9% Windows. The shame of 9% windows. Also yes, I know that adds up to 101%, that's Valve's maths not mine. I'm taking the extra 1% from the Windows part to reduce shame.

Quoting: pbI have 95% on Linux and 5% on SteamDeck. Notably, I also played some hours through GFN, both on PC and SD, I wonder if they filtered it out or if they are now able to tell the device behind the GFN, because I know for sure it counted as playing on Windows in the past.

I don't have that stat on mine. How do I get the that? Do some users just not have it? Are "Here are a few of your highlights..." random?

More than likely though I'm missing an obvious button right?

(EDIT: as suspected, I was in fact missing that the page was taking while to load and I could then scroll further down).

Quoting: CharlieTheMadHatterIt's sad to see Mozilla making the same bad choices. Prioritizing shareholder profits seems to come above everything else.

It's nonprofit. So, are this shareholder profits in room with you?

Firefox go extinct. This is not plan of some evil shareholders. This is attempt to get some traction and make enough income to survive. Just reminder, without firefox, forks also die. Librewolf included.

Quoting: CreepioI wanted a browser that has feature parity with regular Firefox, but doesn't add a crap ton of unnecessary extras. I just want Firefox, but without the crap.

it still has the tabs on top, though ;p

I'm really interested in Servo, but not quite there yet. I like Epiphany, but its extension support is not quite there yet either (I mainly need ublock, bitwarden and vertical tabs). Is LibreWolf the only remaining option?
