No, if I read that correctly the terms do not apply to me as I don't use the "Executable Code version of Firefox".

Switching from Android to iPhone soon, what is the best browser for the iPhone? ๐ค
Very interested in responses, following.
Played around with zen this afternoon - worried about what appears to be their stance of deferring to Firefox when it comes to privacy policy etc. (Also found what appears to be a weird glitch where the flatpak version crapped out when I tried to set up multiple profiles - appimage worked well.)
Installed waterfox instead. I have only used it for perhaps 2 hours so far, but I already feel like I like it better than default Firefox.
I think my main problem with these smaller browsers is that it's more work for me as a user to keep tabs of what happens around these projects. If the browser I pick has a usage rate of 0.03% instead of 3%, I expect that only 1/100 as many eyes are going to keep up with what this browser (developer) is doing, meaning that I will be much, much less likely to hear about any fuckups from the devs.
Already switched to Zen on PC and Fennec on Android.
Edit: Zen screwed up. I use Librewolf now. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40522904
Iโve been using gnome web for a bit
I've tried every now and then but could never switch to firefox fully. It was either big ram usage, slowness, or the inability to handle more than 2 tabs. On android. On pc its just the first 2.
Cromite.
Yep, switched tot waterfox...
Chromium for work and mulvad for home.
I tried to, but both Vivaldi and Brave had issues I couldn't get over and in the end I decided to have a time out by switching to Firefox ESR with custom policy and autoconfig.
Whatever happens in April will probably take time to land on ESR so I will hopefully have plenty of time to adopt about:config changes or actually switch to another browser.
I don't feel like switching back to LibreWolf, since I already used it ages ago and learnt to make my current setup with upstream Firefox, so it would be kind of pointless and what would I do at Chromium? Three months and ManifestV2 is permanently killed and what extension doesn't say to run better on Firefox? I have been observing at least uBlock Origin (manifest V2), Privacy Badger (v3 in Chrome) and NoScript (also v3) and I think at least GitHub discussions said they all have shortcomings on Chrome.
