I was looking for a non-chromium alternative browser to Firefox and found mercury. According to this site it is one of the fastest Firefox forks and also has optimizations from other well known forks like librewolf.

After the shenanigans with that dev and his other project, Thorium. No fucking thanks.
Out-of-the-loop here, what shenanigans?
The developer included furry porn art as part of the code base of his other browser project, Thorium. He removed it after it was discovered.
Furries hold up the entire IT field though
Do I really want to know what furry porn is?🤨
Its an art form depicting humanoid animals engaging in sexual activities
Oh well - why should one integrate this in a browser lol? Jesus sometimes I regret sharing something I think is good at first glance - but well I think I will then go back to librewolf
Mercury is ESR and not privacy focused. The dev found nice build flags though. Using Librewolf for privacy is always advised, if you dont compile FF yourself and use it with arkenfox and policies
Don’t ever go to 4chan. Ever. You will lose your innocence.
Thanks for pointing it out 😂
Could you elaborate? I’m not familiar with the drama.
Chris Titus Tech explains the issue well enough in this video.
Fucks sake, why does it have to be a 10 minute video to get a simple, short answer?

You should really give a TL;DR in addition to just slapping down a video link and saying “have fun”
