Have you seen the new browser to replace Firefox? It's called IceCat. It's literally called Zen. It's a customized Librewolf install. It's a gecko fork called Pale Moon. You can probably use SeaMonkey. It's called K-Meleon. We're all using Floorp. Install Floorp right now. We're all using Floorp. Install Floorp right now. Everyone is using Floorp now. Install Floorp right now.

@lusrangifer Pfft x3

Unironically I'm actually curious about what different ones bring to the table. So far only one has actually been unique, and I wanna play with it more to see if I vibe with it enough to stick or bounce off anyway.

@lusrangifer the only one that has lasted is librewolf. and that one’s extremely annoying to use for anything other than porn :I

@lusrangifer

To date, every time I've heard of Floorp I assumed it was gibberish. But you insisted. So I checked. And now I can't participate in my meetings because I'm cackling. I hope you're proud of yourself.

@lusrangifer I love how out of those Floorp sounds like the one that’s definitely made up, but is actually the one I was going to try before getting entirely distracted again

@lusrangifer can’t get over people suggesting floorp as a Firefox alternative because of Mozilla pushing AI garbage when floorp is vibe coded and (without trying it out) I can’t find any evidence at all that it even disables the AI stuff in Firefox, let alone removes it…

@gwen @lusrangifer The whole internet loves floorp, an open source firefox fork that removes all AI and spyware! *5 seconds later* we regret to inform you the devs are transphobies and about:floorp shows a nazi salute

@LunaDragofelis @lusrangifer @gwen omg floorp is an actual fucking firefox fork? I was totally convinced it was a parody of open source project names. no, not really it was a silly joke. toot deleted to avoid spreading misinformation about floorp which actually exists somehow

@lusrangifer

[2 days later]: "We regret to inform you that Floorp is built by fascists"

@pikesley They’ve actually been going since 2021, and personally they don’t really stand out to me, but they seem fine.

@lusrangifer @pikesley
Ok. Snap poll time.

@duckwhistle @lusrangifer @pikesley

Joke's on you, I used floorp for the past couple years until very recently!

@duckwhistle @lusrangifer @pikesley
🔘 i was aware of floorp but it occupies the same part of the brain as poob does so i thought it was a joke

@elilla @LunaDragofelis @lusrangifer lmao yeah it is somehow an actual thing, the name feels almost intentionally chosen to make people think it’s fake

@elilla @LunaDragofelis @gwen Seeing it get recommended on another site and thinking to myself “Okay, THAT one has to be a joke” was the inspiration for “What if I recreate the Tumblr post about streaming service names, but they’re all real Firefox forks?”
