Long-term usage of basilisk
Posted: 2018-02-09, 02:54
Hi everyone! First, I want to THANK YOU ALL for keeping "mozilla's vision" living, while Mozillla itself are abandoning it..
Yes, I am "Firefox refugee", who used firefox for approx 15 years, but now has stucked with ESR version.. And to be truth, I am not seeing "light on the end of the tunnel" with Firefox anymore..
So I am looking for an alternativne.. I found pale-moon, but to be honest, he is a little bit "outdated" for me, because I like style and some features of firefox between versions 40-55 (exept for removing support for java etc).. And..I am using some web-extensions based addons as well (but most of my addons are "old" XUL), so migrating to palemoon would cost me some addons (but not as much, as migrating to FF57, not speaking about "telemetry" and other stuff)..
So i found Basilisk and I really enjoyed it!! I was able to COPY MY ENTIRE PROFILE FROM FIREFOX to Basilisk without any trouble AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING just fine! All extensions, all my own style enhancement, even all cookies and therefore active logins are here! Magnificent!!
So..to my question.. Is it save to completely migrate to Basilisk? Will basilisk have continuity in development, or it is just "test project", that will be abadoned it time...?
I know..it is maybe stupid question, but it is not easy for me to change browser after so many years, but Mozilla really gives me no other choise.. And when I migrate to new browser (and my entire family with me, because I am managing computers for them), I want to be "sure" (as much as it is possible), that it will be stable project with decent future ahead (I will not have a problem with some small donation, in that case)..
..again, sorry for maybe stupid question, but I hope You will understand me...
And..please forgive me my bad English..I am not from "english-speaking" country and I am not a native speaker.. In fact, I am from Czech Republic and I hope for maybe language packs in future, but it's not essential for me - essential is a future of this project, I can handle english in Basilisk..
Thanks in advance for repply
