Hi,

it will likely be difficult to maintain every Mozilla clone.

On my system are the following clones installed:

chaotic-aur/waterfox
chaotic-aur/icecat
chaotic-aur/palemoon-gtk3-bin
extra/librewolf
chaotic-aur/firedragon
extra/torbrowser-launcher

However, there are more. Off the top of my head, I can think of chaotic-
aur/floorp, aur/iceweasel.

In the current situation, you should either be prepared to update it
yourself, if your preferred clone isn't among those in extra, or
temporarily use a different clone.

As far as chromium-based web browsers are concerned, I would prefer it
if brave never made it into an official repository. There are plenty of
other chromium-based web browsers that don't have such a negative
colorful history. I can't say any more about this on the list, and I
won't do so off-list either.

My point is, there are too many mozilla and chromium-based web browsers,
so it would be nearly impossible to maintain them all.

Regards,
Ralf
