Well, Mozilla seems to be making some pretty questionable decisions, So I'm considering switching browsers for the third (Is it the third?) time. The thing is, I really like the way Firefox works, so I've been trying out the more famous Forks like Waterfox and Librewolf, although I'm going for Floorp. However, I'm wondering: is using a fork enough? I mean, they are Forks maintained by other people, but is there a chance that whatever Mozilla does to Firefox could affect those Forks? Should I jump to a totally different browser like Vivaldi?

So I'm considering switching browsers for the third (Is it the third?) time.

I don't think switching browsers is a big deal. Obviously switching every day would be a burden and being forced to switch is annoying, but I don't think the switch has to be a big all or nothing.

I do think Firefox or one of it's derivatives are probably the best choice, but I'd say be flexible. I use Firefox for the majority of my mobile browsing, but Chime sneaks in depending on the task. On my laptop I use Chrome most of the time, but I've also got Firefox open for others. Perhaps that's insane, but it works for me.

If you like Firefox, keep using Firefox. If you want to try a derivative, test them out. If they suck in 6 months, try something new. Try a bunch of new things.

At the end of the day the best option is the browser experience you like best.
