How many realistic options are there for a browser if I don't use it for stuff that has an app? Servo seemed to work fine the few places I went, but the UI isn't there yet. Lynx either has some tricks I neglected to read about, or is unusable even on stuff that works fine in reader mode as a plain document. Firefox and chrome have some spinoffs that may get rid of telemetry, maybe that is a decent option, but I'd worry about bug fixes. Thoughts anyone?


I just use Firefox and maintain a single policies.json [1] to disable features I don't like (Pocket, telemetry, etc) across all of the computers that I use. Mozilla has pretty good documentation [2] available, mostly aimed at Enterprise admins, but it works for me.

LibreWolf (https://librewolf.net) seems ok so far (couple of months), and tracks the Firefox release schedule pretty well.
