    If you havent ditched mozilla, nows the time. They not only continuously force telemetrics and antiprivacy settings, its quite apparent that they are taking their masks off at this point.

      And your alternate options are what?

      Why should we ditch Firefox now? Because they have moved slightly in the direction we dislike but are still light years ahead on privacy?

      This is the tech version of single issue voting. All the nuance is lost and ignored, and it’s just a knee jerk after knee jerk.

      Mozilla is doing this because funding is difficult, if you wanted a free and open web then you should have been donating to the foundation. To some degree we all should have. The majority of their funding comes from Google, when that gets cut they have to make huge changes to their organization or they will completely die.

      That’s the reality we live in all those Mozilla engineers have to be paid money, they aren’t working for free. How do you expect a company to function without an income source?

      Have you thought about this at all before making statements like those you have made?

        No worries, i do suggest librewolf as a starter until you can find something more solid as there are limiting factors to librewolf in some websites.

        I myself am still in the process of figuring that out, weighing the pros and cons of different browsers
