@tfb @paul also, several of these are the same browser

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org @tfb@bsd.cafe I am aware of that fact, and I appreciate the restriction of custom forks in NetBSD buuuuuut I am drawing my line against Mozilla. I cannot in good conscience use their actual browser - using a custom fork is the way I tell Mozilla I do not appreciate what they have done to Firefox.
I am aware of how this could be perceived as irony, but it is not.

@paul @tfb please try palemoon, it is one of the few truly independent browsers and also one of the few browsers capable of displaying mastodon.sdf.org that accepts patches to support netbsd upstream.

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org @paul@paulwilde.uk @tfb@bsd.cafe I was thinking of checking out what this thing is, but it seems things aren't quite as good on #FreeBSD.🤣

@xiaotuolu @netbsd @paul The more niche, the more care is taken with palemoon, maybe? It comes as part of a standard Tribblix installation
