looking strictly at Firefox and other gecko based browsers, what's my best bet? is it the 64 bit dev version? or is that too buggy and I should just go with standard? popular fork? thanks

Use Nightly.

FF58 is no longer gecko based

Brave.

Pale Moon if you want XUL addons but can live with some broken websites due to missing features.
Waterfox if you can live without XUL.

yes it is you fucking retard

nah it's a frankenstein of servo and gecko

How do I completely disable telemetry botnet shit on Nightly

By going into the settings and unchexking boxes?

waterfox.

Yeah I did that but there's still shit going on in about:config I assume.

Then look through said file and erase that shit.

>standard

That's why I asked how, because I don't know all the stuff I need to disable in about:config.

this is how it's done.

Icecat

looks like i missed a spot... fixing

>tries to disable telemetry
>while using fucking Windows

There are a few million settings in about:config and most of them aren't very clear.

i am just using it for my amusement. will be back to gentoo i3 later

>promoting a bug-ridden alpha build for daily use

You use something other than Nightly if you don't want to send statistics back to Mozilla.

What is this meme? I've been using Nightly for three weeks and it runs fine, I never get any problems.
But nothing is as fast.

Some people(including me) are too stupid for arch so they need to get their bleeding edge somewhere else.

>But nothing is as fast.
Stable Firefox will be once 57 hits, use that.

Nightly doesn't send back your history or visited sites if you uncheck that box in your preferences.

i use dev edition. its as fast as nightly and doesnt require you to update it twice a day

This is my IceCat about:config
I'd assume the same would apply to any other version of Firefox

What do you use?

firefox dev edition

waterfox

water fox

That's just FF Beta but for developers

cyberfox, removed telemetry, does not seem to have the same issues waterfox has, maintaining add-on support, there seem to be some differences in appearance settings that you can change too.
the only downside is the logo
