"Purism uses a fork—creates a distinct & separate piece of software—of Firefox, developed by the Trisquel development team. Wikipedia characterizes Trisquel as a fully F/LOSS system without proprietary software or firmware, noting that it is “listed by the Free Software Foundation as a distribution that contains only Free software.” Purism takes this already exemplary version then optimize it for the Librem laptops running PureOS and adds more privacy protections."

Simply remove everything between the dashes, and we get "Purism uses a fork of Firefox, ..."
