  First time I’ve ever seen someone say something negative about FF/Mozilla. Care to expand?

    There are always negative things to find about companies:

    But I think it’s the best of the bunch still. Google is absolutely evil, Brave is using Chromium as a base, so Firefox is the only browser with it’s own engine.

    It means they are not affected by the shit Google pulls, at least not stuff they put in their engine. Of course Web Environment Integrity is hostile to the entire planet, but that’s Google in a nutshell.

    Let’s say I just dislike them as an org/com and I don’t like the shit they have made FF into. After being a FF since the beginning (it still was Phoenix, back then). Nowadays FF sole selling point is the existence of uBlock Origin (which isn’t even a Mozilla product) and the Chromium-dominance fear-mongering. Every other browsers just works better, faster, has a better U (I refuse to waste my time untucking it using Class) and is more suited to my workflow. Moreover, I sincerely think that Mozilla is at best useless, at worst just a cash grab and a shady org. The fact that the CEO paycheck almost matches all the donations they receive (from clueless people thinking that they’re funding FF development) and that it keeps growing despite FF the decreasing market share should be more than enough for everyone to reconsider Mozilla’s ethics:

    Plus, frankly speaking, I’m fed up of being schooled by YouTube-addictes with a Gmail account and that buy crap on Amazon that my browser choice is “wrong” because potato.

    That said, I’ll put my grain of sand to make Mozilla and their shitty circle jerk community (even more) irrelevant, whenever I can. I profoundly regret having been part of that community for almost 20 years.

    This is going be my last comment in this useless thread. I’m not interested in debating. I have just answered your question.
