I’m pretty sure if Firefox/Mozilla decides to change their policy on something, most forks of firefox will have no choice but follow the same path
afaik all firefox forks are really small, just like chromium forks
Mozilla might not have as much conflicting interests though, I’ll admit
Sure, so? It’s still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit
If you don’t like it, don’t enable it? They’re pretty transparent about how it works overall
They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways
It’s not that bad. Sure, having more choice is good, but it’s not as life threatening as you make it seem
Using android and stock ROMs is a bigger problem
Nope, but it put a closed source Mr Robot plugin without asking anyone
it has better anti fingerprinting than firefox? That’s nice to know
Sure, that sucks, but the product is good
You can’t always agree with everyone
Uh… no? It just puts sponsored backgrounds when you open new tabs or windows notifications if you opt-in
It never replaced ads in websites afaik
Exactly this. They’re acting braindead and disliking things for no valid reason
Just massively spreading misinformation
Brave also ticks all of them?
at this point, Firefox’s development is not very much more open than Chromium’s
Mozilla also has many problems
I mean Mozilla’s Firefox is 🤮 too… there’s no perfect browser
They shit on it because just like Mozilla, they made some shit decision by making some shady partnerships, and because the CEO is transphobic/homophobic/can’t remember
Apart from the usual bullshit and antifeatures it has, it’s still a great browser choice, just like Firefox
It’s probably the best chromium browser out there
Firefox has done shit too
sadly we don’t have a lot of choice, but they’re one of the least worse
Brave: injected affiliate links once, then apologised for it too. Developped a search engine to be less dependent on big companies
Mozilla is spending money like crazy, just like Wikipedia, has little to no democratic system which makes people fork the stuff they make, and prefer to use the money from donation to buy trips all over the world to educate about privacy and shit while they proceed to keep adding more telemetry and BS in firefox
They also make it close to impossible to install plugins outside their plugins website, which I’ve heard has some strict rules and take a lot of time to approve stuff. Closed garden bullshit again
