- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

firefox is debataable
Name a better open source browser built from the ground up that isn't backed by big tech, I'll wait.
Firefox is literally backed by big tech though?
Ladybird is on the horizon.
Also Firefox isn't built from the ground up I don't believe. It's based on Gecko which iirc was based on KHTML. idk i can't fully remember don't take this as fact. i use firefox and prefer it to chomium based browsers but Mozilla has been making really weird moves lately around AI that I think is very unnecessary.
Ladybird is also making weird moves around AI and I feel obligated to mention fascism
Chrome and Safari are built from forks of KHTML, WebKit, not Gecko
Firefox was born out of the Mozilla project.
That came from Netscape?
Just because there is no better open source browser doesn't mean it fits the description of OP's list
there are none but that doesnt mean firefox is good dont settle because everything else is worse
