I mean, I like Firefox, but I’d love to see Vivaldi based on Firefox/Gecko. There’s Floorp, which is similar in some ways but it’s more like an Edge built on Firefox than Vivaldi.
Edit: Thank y’all for your answers. :D
I want to link !@[email protected] 's post because it is a similar quesion. https://thelemmy.club/post/718914
Actually ff is the old Netscape navigator which was popular in the early to mid 90’s. When Netscape didn’t take off like they hoped it was retooled a little bit and turned into ff
Don’t you mean “when Microsoft abused their monopoly to crush the competition it was open sourced”?
Netscape navigator was designed to work with the Netscape online system when the internet was still young. Netscape system was in competition with AOL not Micro$oft. The Netscape system was an internet access protocol, like AOL, that ran on Windows. There was no competition between the two.
Yes. That still doesn’t change how Gecko (which is basically a rewrite of the old Netscape engine) was not released until 2000.
Fair enough, I stand corrected
