Apparently no one remembers when Firefox changed their terms of service literally this year to become adversarial toward their own users.
Librewolf is the way to go now.

What does the binaries not being signed mean?
It seems waterfox (?) has a legal entity behind it for your exact reason!
No thanks. Their own devs have gladly called the project "very woke", and a "certainly quite political project".
Wow, a political free software project? Who could imagine such a thing.
Anyway sounds like you're trying to convince me to use it
> Wow, a political free software project? Who could imagine such a thing.
Can you imagine the outcry if they'd said the opposite...
You’ll find that has absolutely nothing to do with the way you choose to use the free software they produce for your benefit.
These days the term "woke" has lost almost all meaning. It used to mean being "awake" i.e. aware of socio-economic factors in society. Today, as far as I can tell, it simply refers to whatever the big corporations/alt-right doesn't like. Just like how they refer to anything left of oligarchy as "communism". To me them calling themselves "very woke" reads as "we are against anti-human behavior", which is a good thing.
> Just like how they refer to anything left of oligarchy as "communism"
To the left of oligarchy? I thought it was anything to the left of getting hit repeatedly in the head with a hammer that they labelled as communism? There must have been a massive leftward shift in society since I last checked the news!
I never had firefox pop up and tell me to attend a drag show or that I need to surf more diverse websites than my usual sports and news sites. how is it woke? I don't care what mozilla the org does. They jsut took a big revenue hit because of the decision against google, they won't have much money for any political endeavors other than maybe privacy and free speech on the web very soon
https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/what-we-fund/fellowship... It's mostly harmless, but it's an open question if those are projects that browser donations should fund.
The woke reference is to LibreWolf, not Mozilla. The dev labelled themselves "very woke" and declared the project will not be apolitical. They banned someone from their chatroom for their identity/political affiliation outside the chat, and so on.
Regardless of one's political applications, I do agree who you are elsewhere shouldn't matter unless you actually start spewing that in an inappropriate context.
The binaries aren't signed… :’(
Also, it seems quite vague to me exactly who/what company/entity is behind it.
