Hey, everyone!

Whether you have heard about it or not, there is a Firefox derivative that is called Floorp. It is made by a community of Japanese devs.

I started looking for these kind of Firefox projects, because of the many kinds of Chromium types. I’ve been using it for awhile, and have enjoyed the features (after a bit of customization to my preferences) that it offers.

I also use a CSS theme that is compatible with Floorp that is called Shina-Fox. I’ll post the links below for you to try if you think it’s interesting!

(PS. You can change the icon that is included with Shina-Fox by renaming an icon that you prefer, make a copy, and rename them dark and light. PPS. You might also need to move your taskbar icons around, but that was probably just a me error because I was aggressive on how my original taskbar looked)

Let me know what you think!

I gave this a shot about a month ago because it had some features I found interesting, but it felt unstable. The ui also seemed half baked / didn't mesh well with modern Firefox which made it feel like an early alpha product rather than something for daily use. The project has some really great ideas though so I hope it gets more fleshed out.

I have had a few UI issues too, but it was quickly squared away after a day or two. I mainly use it as my general purpose browser, like quick look ups, and for reading articles. Firefox is always for serious browsing where I need to login a lot, YouTube, and local device handling.

I understand from being here at Lemmy since the Great Migration, that the way I utilize the internet and my browser is very different, so I tend to overlook a lot of things that many others seem to focus more on.

I am sorry you experienced it badly the first time, maybe you can always try again sometime when it feels or looks more stable to you! 😁

I'll definitely be giving it a shot again in the future! I love the idea of a Vivaldi style experience based off Firefox.
