well after years and years of being misled by the culture of the internet, and proprietary systems, and searching for answers, I have finally arrived at the conclusion, that firefox cannot be secured.

No amount of addons, no amount of security precautions, or sandboxing, or anything conceivable can secure, Mr. Firefox. It's simply rooted, to use a slang word, through and through, so there is no hope whatsoever, that malicious activity can't succeed against people, in the context that they are firefox users. The rate of oppressive features and their leveraging simply outpaces any and all of the counteractions to that behavior, in the interests of our security, which includes that, of the entire internet connected world!

Because of the fact, I am already completely disillusioned about the 'fox' and the limited alternatives presented to us.

and of course, if you tried to fork it, from an earlier version let's say, back before when we learned it was being used for A.i. or something, you'd quickly find yourself unable to build it! Your tool chain would mysteriously be broken, and that includes the operating system, being used to do the building, that's vulnerable too. Oppression in the modern world, is real, and overbearing. If you're going to adopt, a "free operating system" you've got really big problems, or challenges ahead of you.

(I warned you, don't mention it! don't say it's name!)

Now I have resolved after trying a bunch of different chinese browsers, and after years of attempting to use the western alternatives

to try one of the oldest forks from mozilla away from the development direction of *firefox*

https://www.seamonkey-project.org/

seamonkey is sort of like *firefox* but it's got an older interface, barely support for addons, unless you find a third party provider I imagine, but, it has built in features that allow tons of useful customization, like the ability to change page colors (readability) the ability to disable loading images (security) and the ability to disable javascript and different javascript capabilities (security) plus, it doesn't function by default with all the latest web features, that are security threats, and ever present in 2025, especially, on main stream highly trafficked websites.

it's also a calm, sobering experience, compared to the latest alternatives, that are like hyperactive, to the point of being prohibitive. You can even just completely disable cookies... no more prompts, no more nonsense, seamonkey allows you to use the internet purely, for taking care of business with a somewhat modern interface.

the main problem with the fox, is that web servers can design themselves in such a way that prohibit alternative browsers from the main stream variety to function. and for critical internet tasks, like accessing email or a bank account, other browsers, especially older ones like seamonkey wont function. That's a major problem!

otherwise for general web browsing, sea monkey is perfect... you can download the tarball, extract it in the home directory, double click the binary, disable images... javascript... cookies... and away you go!

Look at this, the last post on it's web forums(https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=51) in a thread titled: "The future of Seamonkey?"

For the record, I have never found this board "slow to load"."

was made in 2022... that is the perfect web browser. Zero interest, and no future. Perfect application.

Pale Moon is more actively developed than Seamonkey and has a relatively robust and active extension ecosystem. You can build your own libre version of Pale Moon by disabling branding in the .mozconfig. Building the libre version of Pale Moon and hacking on it via .mozconfig options is quite fun: https://developer.palemoon.org/build/linux/
