Hi,
just upgraded to buster. Things went (mostly) smoothly -- thanks to
all the kind souls at Debian!
Just realized that firefox-esr seems (perhaps I'm wrong?) to depend on
systemd now.
- am I holding it wrong?
- is there an alternative?
BTW. midori seems to depend on systemd too.
Thanks for any pointers, cheers

Hi,
I am running Debian Buster here as well (with systemd), but how do you get
the impression that Browsers depend on it? Is it in some way a transitive
dependencey? Because when querying directly, I see nothing:
~$ aptitude show firefox-esr | grep systemd
~$ aptitude show midori | grep systemd
~$ apt-cache policy firefox-esr
firefox-esr:
Installed: 60.9.0esr-1~deb10u1
Candidate: 60.9.0esr-1~deb10u1
Version table:
*** 60.9.0esr-1~deb10u1 500

60.8.0esr-1~deb10u1 500

~$ apt-cache policy midori
midori:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 7.0-2
Version table:

I know there are some people on this list who run systemd-free systems, so
possibly if any of them has a GUI web-browser installed this might resolve
the question more quickly than my "theoretical" approach from above?
