Not sure if this the appropriate place for it but the FOSS communities seemed dead.

This is Bridge - a privacy focused, Firefox AI disabled, Fediverse integrated browser. It has vim navigation via Tridactyl, Bitwarden integration, as well as Ublock integration.

It has an old Firefox RSS feature where you can scan a site for RSS feeds and it will add them to the RSS feed reader.

But the highlight of this is the Mastodon and Lemmy integration. you can have your Mastodon feed displayed in the sidebar on the browser which will give you access to your home, local, and fediverse feeds. you can post, reply, boost, and favourite posts.

The Lemmy extension allows you to see and link directly to lemmy discussions on whatever instance you like (multiple even) if you're on a site/news article/blog post/whatever. If the extension sees that this has been posted on Lemmy, it will provide you with a direct link to whatever discussions it finds based on the current URL you're on.

This has been a hobby project of mine for a bit now, It's very slow development as I have a job and can't dedicate all the time in the world to this. I wanted to originally build a browser from scratch but realized that would probably take me years so I settled with a fork of firefox.

Currently I believe it only works on Linux and is in a very early alpha. It hasn't crashed on me yet but visually is a bit rough around the edges.

I just wanted to share this little hobby project I've been working on. Thanks!

UPDATE Since I already got a lot of feedback and more people than anything else wanted the Lemmy Extension as a stand alone extension...I delivered.

You were all correct, the Lemmy Add-on is a bigger deal than the browser. Again this was just a hobby project of mine as I've never played around with firefox forks before or extensions/addons for that matter so this is my first time.

Regardless, here it is: https://codeberg.org/rozodru/LemmyBridge

NOTE: I have submitted it to Mozilla so it is NOT VERIFIED as of right now, if you want to use it, use it at your own discretion. If it breaks something in whatever fork of firefox you're using then I take no responsibility.

Again thanks for all the support, appreciate it.

Thanks for the cross post. This seems like an awesome thing that will help boost engagement and posts across the fediverse because it's just easier now. The dev posted a link to the standalone extension version in the comments, so no need to replace your browser. Gonna be a great addition to librewolf!
