FF has it's spyware and censorware, too.

I've started a fork (still on esr52 as I didn't want to open the rust
pandorra box), but it's a quite huge job, so it needs more people.

I actually like YT, running it all the day (my preferred background

Of course, the video stuff should be delegated to a proper player
