    Mozilla should be scrutinized, even if Firefox is currently the best option.

    I think the only thing keeping them inline is loud community backlash everytime they make one of those misssteps.

      I think everyone should be held to the same standard. We can yell at Firefox a bit less. We should yell at Brave a lot more.

      People dont seem to be scrutinizing though. Its genuinely unhinged and often completely misinformed. They will jump on a single line of a legal text and use it to springboard into a world of scenarios even when Mozilla is saying its not true.

      It doesnt help improve the product it just makes people think all products are bad and fallback to whatever the comfortable majority is which is chrome.

        Sometimes corporations lie.

        It’s not being unhinged to say you don’t like something. And the way that Mozilla is embracing “AI” is not welcomed.

        Who cares it’s a corporation, it doesn’t have feelings. Anything to keep these corpos in line.

      Sorry man, but the minute Firefox added that keylogger, I dipped.

      Firefox rendering engine is dogshit and they are massively behind.

      This coming from someone that was using Netscape and Mozilla and Firefox since its release.

        Firefox doesn’t include a keylogger. It does have the infamous privacy preserving attribution but this can easily be disabled in settings.

        In contrast, Chrome is literally a tool for Google to gain as much personal information as possible for Googles advertisement platform. It has the worst privacy features of the three major browsers and cannot be fully made private due to crippled extension support.

        Firefox engine has some catching up to do, but the Safari rendering engine is behind Firefox on features.

        I don’t know what you’re on about. There is no keylogger and I don’t have any issues with the engine unless it’s some weird ass “chrome experiments” style website which I couldn’t care less about.

        I find LibreWolf to be the better option for privacy, I never have an issue with rendering.

        You either die a Netscape Navigator, or you live long enough to become a… any of em, really.
