We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

Firefox is teetering on the edge

Get LibreWolf . They take FF builds and rip out the telemetry/ads/AI/enshit.
It's... beautiful

    Some people miss this but Librewolf uses most of the code from Firefox...so its still VERY dependent upon Firefox developers/services to do its thing. Its still better, but if Firefox suffers, then Librewolf does too.

    Theres an excellent graphic here: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source
    I used to compile and contribute a long time ago. Its pretty easy to get it working and make adjustments...when you know what Firefox does in the background.

    Thank you for your past service o7

    (I want to normalize open source contributors getting the same kind of recognition for providing a Public Good that we currently give to teachers, de-escalatory police, and following-legal-orders military)
