I have important news: my LibreWolf port for OpenBSD now *works perfectly*! See: https://codeberg.org/vimuser/librewolf-openbsd-port Latest patch: https://codeberg.org/vimuser/librewolf-openbsd-port/commit/b66909dff671dfae9350b3db84c60b0a32cff9e9 I compiled the master branch on OpenBSD -current (7.9 snapshot). I rewrote the port again, this time making only the most surgical changes relative to www/mozilla-firefox. LibreWolf uses mozconfig, so OpenBSD CONFIGURE_ARGS has no effect; I provide a patched mozconfig at build time. *Everything works*. I rocked out to some tunes, and read some news.

Just doing some minor polishing, ready for submission to openbsd ports team. They're already in release mode, so who knows if this will land before OpenBSD 7.9. I hope I can get it in the release. LibreWolf is similar enough to FireFox, and my port is conservatively-enough engineered relative to www/mozilla-firefox that it fits well into their infrastructure, with little friction. For all intents and purposes, it is essentially the same browser as FireFox, just without the enshittification.

Exciting, I was hoping someone would port one of these Firefox forks! :)
