Maybe by "official" they mean "officially supported by GPD"?

They must trust FEX a whole lot if they are not encouraging devs to make an ARM build...

Awesome, now we need his girlfriend to talk to Activision about CoD7.

There is a fundamental problem with depending on a *Firefox* fork to alleviate potential Firefox issues.
If the upstream (Firefox) starts messing up with a lot of features that used to work fine but are now entangled with unwanted bloat, each fork have to do more work to untangle the mess. And, when the upstream codebase inevitably starts to deviate too much, maintaining the fork gets exponentially tedious. It's not like LibreWolf's devs said "I want no AI and tracking" and poof, it's done.

If the worst happen and the cleaned up Firefox forks have to completely separate from the upstream, then any future improvement (and that would include spec conformance and fixes) will have to be manually cleared again and backported from a source tree that's more and more distinct over time. I have no idea about the resources available to LibreWolf, but that would end up meaning maintaining the whole thing instead of a fork. That's a big task.

You are completely right, but currently I think it's my best option. I absolutely don't want a Chromium based browser. In an ideal world, Servo would be production ready and I could switch to that. But it's not there.

Maybe I am of an older generation, but why this on/off view?
Mozilla says they going to do AI in the future somewhere, it's not clear exactly how or what this exactly means or how it will be incorporated but you drop it like a hot potato and suddenly overnight they are evil.
The world is many shades of gray, not just black and white, see how it onfolds and then take a decision.

It's not on/off. In my case, it started years ago when they decided to install an extension to serve Mr. Robot ads, and that snowball has been rolling until now, one bad decision after other. I have been seriously considering switching for months, this has been the tipping point for me.

Hmm... now you made me curious what you replaced it with. The only other widespread browser engines I am aware of are made by Google and Apple. And replacing the only major free browser engine with a corporate product would be an interesting choice, wouldn't it?

In my case, I switched to LibreWolf. It's Firefox based but with enhanced tracking protection (anti fingerprinting) and with all the stupid things Firefox has been adding lately also removed.

Took me like 5 minutes to switch: install the browser, copy the profile from Firefox and done, I had all my tabs, all my extensions, the configuration, etc.

The only warning is due to the enhanced tracking protection, some pages might break (e.g. typically calendar apps will show incorrect time due to timezone spoofing) or if you use dark theme it might get ignored. You can disable the protections globally or per site to go back to the correct behavior.

Also about that killswitch, let me guess, it will be opt-out and will reset each time a update is installed, right?

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).
