If y'all are mad about this, look into Midori. It's a fork of florp and I think it's better, too.

From the website:

With Midori Browser you can browse the web with complete confidence and an advanced tracking blocker.

Then the next paragraph states:

Cryptotoken: To reward our users, we are organizing an initiative a Token to give users to use our products and services without tracking.

So it blocks tracking but adds more tracking, so users can buy some shitcoin to remove the tracking?

I'm glad that their forks of simple mobile tools didn't gain traction, then

Welp, I'll be damned then. Back to good ole Firefox then

Well that was an emotional roller coaster.

What does it even do better? I remember using it right after they redid it and it was just a 1/1 copy of Floorp

I tested the speed on both and Midori was a lot faster.

Is it open source?

[–] penquin@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 11 months ago

As far as I know, yes.
