    I hope Brave deletes this from Chromium if it's present in the source code.

    It's useful, but it's a meaningless feature. We've been asking for a good JS and HTML engine, faster than what Firefox uses, and for better compatibility with websites (there are w…

    So... Nothing really useful or what users are asking for a long time... And we then ask why people aren't using Firefox...

    For now, there isn't an alternative. Maybe a Pixel phone and GrapheneOS with the sandboxed Play Store would be the only choice, but for now, nobody knows.

    If you want a hardened version of Firefox, download LibreWolf.

    The only thing Mozilla has right now better than Chrome is that the APIs needed for uBlock Origin to work as intented exist.

    I think exactly the same. It's always the same play. I guess they don't want to listen to things they need to pour money into.

    Read the comments from Lio and skywal_l, both replies to your comment <- that's what I mean.

    So... Here's an idea: stop wasting time and money on things like that, listen to the community, hire engineers, and make a browser that can be at the same level as Chrome. We alrea…

    Mozilla has already millions of dollars than can be put into Firefox's development instead of the business they're getting into. It doesn't need even more money, it just needs to p…

    I hope they use the money to improve all the issues people have arised over the years. It can be a really good platform, if they're open to change. Otherwise, it might be dead in t…

    It's not. Open Source has its own definition. You can define however you want, but it's not Open Source. What you mean is "source available".

    React is a web framework. You can put Native behind React, it'll never be.
