    All of those forks get support from the primary source of development. Do you know what a fork is?

      Is your first instinct talking to people is to be a dick? Forks pull changes downstream and hopefully push changes upstream but if you want to see either the core Firefox web browser engine or F-Droid reach more popularity, you need Mozilla support so I would rather support Mozilla directly than any fork

          My bad if I took your words the wrong way. I gave my answer for why I prefer to use the primary application, because of funding, and your response to me sounded like dismissive condescension. You may not have meant condescension but it reads like dismissive condescension to me like I’ve heard plenty of whether in or out of the software industry or academia
