AFAIK the only two really worth bothering with that are still updated today are Pale Moon and Waterfox. Either one are fine to use, I suppose, but have their own issues. ie. Pale Moon is based on a much older version of Gecko (the browser engine that Firefox uses, in this case it's based on Firefox 38, released in like 2015) so you might not see any of the improvements modern Firefox has incorporated in newer releases than that.
On the other hand, Waterfox uses modern Gecko version (particularly based on version 78 of Firefox)...but was bought by an advertising company just last year, which could be an issue for anyone who cares about privacy in the future.

I used Waterfox back in the day when there was no official 64-bit build of Firefox, but that hasn't been the case for many years. I'm genuinely unsure why people use anything other than official Firefox browsers (when using Firefox browsers) these days.
@WiiMiiSwitch I'm not sure one blog post by one blogger is sufficient to say Mozilla has gone political, particularly when the blog post didn't even seem to take a stance on whether or not deplatforming the former president was the right thing to do. It looks to me Mozilla is trying to get into the web traffic business, not "go political."
Before they had election results on their homepage interacting with politics saying the election wasn't fraudulent.
I know it wasn't, but a nonprofit tech company should not interact with this stuff

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those. -

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
