Neat. Browser using the Gecko engine from Firefox, but doesn't fork Firefox itself (using the engine, like how Opera uses Blink)

Wow - repurposing truly satisfies. Why, only a while back we converted an old doogee smini into a Nix machine with traffic routed through WebLibre.
Convenience, Power, Security, performance all in 1 - neat!

🎶Can you use old mobile phones as a synthesiser? The Galaxy S3 was a very popular phone. Now it's a prevalent example of e-waste on Marktplaats. We tested a prototype instrument and gave the device a new life! https:/waag.org/en/project/recomposing-e-waste

Thank you WebLibre for letting me install Witchsky as a PWA even though the manifest seems to be misconfigured on Android 🙏

Android携帯のブラウザをIronFoxからWebLibreに変更しようか検討中。
理由は読み込み速さの差。

ADSLを経験している世代だけど今となってはwebページが表示されるまでにラグがあるとンッ！と思ってしまう。

両ブラウザともセキュリティーとプライバシーにはかなりしっかり対応しているからその点では問題ない。

IronFoxの方がセキュリティーよりでWebLibreがプライバシーよりってのはあるけど。

@waterfox.net hey, I couldn't see if you had plans for container tabs on mobile? I've just found that WebLibre does, but I've tried so many mobile "privacy browsers", I just want one. Are containers in your roadmap, or have I just failed to find them?

Is there a way to use a dedicated VPN per browser tab on Linux?
WebLibre can use separate proxy for each container (have builtin tor).

Isn’t it recommended to enable extensions in the Cromite browser on Android?
there aren’t many alternatives, but one I like is WebLibre (available on f-droid). It has all the security settings in the settings menu and can be enabled with a single tap. It’s very privacy focused.

Wow, I’m in the minority of independent web browser users—even among fediverse users.

Firefoxのフォークでここまでデザインが変わっているのはあまりない。
使いやすいと感じる人にとっては最強のブラウザかもしれない。
プライバシーにかなり配慮している。

💬 Comments express skepticism about yet another Firefox fork on Android; users favor existing options and question funding 🤷‍♂️.
