GitHub - Alex313031/Mercury: Firefox fork with compiler optimizations and patches from Librewolf, Waterfox, and GNU IceCat.

I was looking for a non-chromium alternative browser to Firefox and found mercury. According to this site it is one of the fastest Firefox forks and also has optimizations from other well known forks like librewolf.

Chris Titus Tech explains the issue well enough in this video.

Fucks sake, why does it have to be a 10 minute video to get a simple, short answer?

The developer included furry porn art as part of the code base of his other browser project, Thorium. He removed it after it was discovered.
