I am also someone who searches daily for apps that focus on privacy... At the moment, I have come across Firedragon.
It is yet another derivative of Firefox. But is it truly privacy-oriented? I hope I can discuss this with you.
What I have discovered is that Firedragon is actually a derivative of Floorp. Floorp is another browser that, as they claim, is privacy-oriented. But is that really the case? I also discovered that Firedragon originates from India. And I find that quite suspicious. I don't want to immediately say that every person from India who creates something is immediately suspicious. But things do often go wrong there when we talk about scamming. Anyway, let's leave that aside for now.
I would like to know your opinion and knowledge regarding this new browser.
Update notes:
Generally speaking, you shouldn't touch unvetted things. And this is worse than unvetted. It's straight up unknown. Floorp is probably better for your privacy, but it's still not one of the best forks available. You might want to go for something that's been around for several years... Including Floorp, or even better Waterfox, or better yet LibreWolf... Etc
It's not an unknown browser? Firedragon was the default browser in Garuda Linux (not 100% sure if it still is), Garuda if you didn't know is quite a popular Linux distribution that has attracted a bit of attention over the years mostly for its OOTB theming.
Fair point, but I barely know about Garuda apparently, let alone what's inside it.
So because you don't know about it, "it's straight up unknown"?
its still on linux. and garuda is not privacy focussed. And firedragon seem to be by garuda. Hmmm intressting....
i do research on privacy-oriented applications.
