Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic

Xanza@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

I feel a little vindicated. I started using Firefox basically when it was first released. I migrated away from it after several years because I simply didn’t like the direction that Mozilla was taking it. Decades later I see them struggling down the same inevitable path I figured they’d always head down from the beginning.

Firefox bros used to get ultra pissed at me for shitting on their browser because I just knew Mozilla would eventually fuck it all up. And here we are.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. I told ya so? I was smarter than everyone else and figured it out first?

FF has been one of the better full-featured browsers with generous amount of add-ons/plugins. There was no reason not to use it vs some less functional browser or some corporate data miner like Chrome. It still is, however some alternatives are catching up. Time will tell how it all shakes out as far as the battle between functionality, privacy, ad- and tracking-blockers, and people willing to build and maintain free browsers and plugins.

  Literally the first thing I said;

  I apologize. I literally don’t know how to make it any more clear than that.

    On ok, so a completely pointless comment. Got it.
    
    At least everyone here knows you switched before then though!

What has your choice of browser(s) been throughout the past decade?

Ah, back in the Mozilla Phoenix days? Or shortly after the Firebird->Firefox rename?
