A note on maintenance

This project will never make it past alpha, nor will it receive any bug fixes or new features that do not directly affect me (@trickypr). I am putting my energy towards a project using a different approach. For a rough guide to my reasoning, see this Mastodon post.

📋 Goals

• Minimalist ui that feels more native than firefox's (custom skin, not a rewrite)
• Replace some internal firefox components with better open source alternatives (e.g. uBlock origin)
• Remove mozilla's telemetry, ads and pocket
