There are a few Canada specific Social Media platforms coming up as well. EH Social and Monnett.Social are topping the list.

I hope this can help you or others make the switch to support a local business 💪

Sorry to nitpick. I am sure you know what you are talking about but people are easily misinformed and so definitions matter.

Chromium is Open Source. Waterfox is no more Open Source than Chromium.

Chromium is primarily developed by Google. So, you should be vary of their intentions and also aware of the potential fragility of a project dominated by one large player.

That said, Waterfox has exactly the same problems. As a fork of Firefox, it is dependent on Mozilla.

Completely agree on this, and maybe I mispoke. I meant that Shift isn't entirely open-sourced. You are right that Chrome based on Chromium is open-sourced.

I tend to favour Firefox forks though as I have more trust in Mozilla as the primary developer.
