  can’t I just have a fuckin web browser that I use to look at fuckin websites? not everything needs a god damn account. I’m so sick of it. like you can’t just sign in to a separate gmail account, you have to “add an account” Add to what? I don’t want it there permanently, I don’t want to keep any information about the account in the browser program, it’s a web based email account why can’t I just go to the website damn

    Show me where it’s required to create an account to use Firefox and I’ll share in your outrage.

      I’m not saying it is – I’m just asking why you need an “account” and whether it’s a “Mozilla account” or a “Firefox account” doesn’t make a difference - why do you need it? it’s a web browser. has no one else been on the internet before the late 90s? didn’t have an “internet explorer account” or a “Netscape account” to deal with, I fuckin double clicked and went to stileproject.com or whatever. I’m mostly just shaking my fist at the clouds and I understand that.

    You can though…? The account gives you some useful features if you want to use them, like syncing tabs and bookmarks across devices, and if you don’t want to use it, the browser still works normally.

    That’s a whole lot of mad for something that won’t ever affect you unless you actively choose to engage in it.
