Zen, LibreWolf, and Waterfox strip Firefox clean of AI.

Zen is a feature powerhouse like Vivaldi, without the bloat. LibreWolf is privacy focused and ships with uBlock Origin by default.


Zen is my main browser. LibreWolf at work for stability. Waterfox works on PC and Android, but I only use it on the latter so can't vouch for its performance on the former.

There are even more Firefox forks, but these are the one's I use.

“'F the Police' but who's stopping you from killing me?” ―Harder Than You Think - Public Enemy

I do believe about 20% of police officers have good intentions and significantly more signed up with that attitude, not knowing that they protect the wealthy elite and crooked politicians more than they uphold democratic values and ethical standards in society.

Unfortunately, probably more of them consider such a career because of the authority it gives them. Therefore I prefer to say that "many cops are bastards"; granted, it doesn't have an equally nice ring to it.

In the grand scheme of things, from an ethical point of view, they're worth nothing as they don't contribute anything of true value to societal change. In other words, pure entertainment, bread and circuses.

“Soccer is a gentlemen sport played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.”

While I'd enjoy playing soccer myself, the competitive scene is completely bereft of soul; a front for gambling and advertising. It's despicable and unethical that professional soccer players earn as much as they do.
