Nah, Waterfox and Floorp devs are trying to make money out of their software.

LibreWolf or Zen

As long as they do it ethically, there's nothing wrong with that. That's also how Foss projects stay alive.

Awh. I was gonna go with Floorp on the name alone. Great name...

Nah, you can still try Floorp. It’s very similar to Vivaldi (Chromium). I’m happy with it after using it for a few days to where I uninstalled Firefox. Shame for Firefox, been a user since 2003 or whenever.

It took me less than five minutes to easily migrate my data from Firefox to Floorp. If Floorp enshittifies in the future, it’ll be super simple to migrate to another Gecko browser, or possibly Ladybird or other engines.
