They could ask me how I use their site, instead of giving the data about every step I do to 3rd parties.
People that respond to such questions surely are a very biased sample of the overall user base.

#104It is funny how my browser preferences has changed over last 5 years. 2014 me as a developer had Chrome as number 1 browser for both development and all rest. Firefox once a month just to check cross browser compatibility. And Safari was just installed without me using it. 2019 me uses Safari for everything except development. Excellent power consumption and UX. Firefox for development. And lastly Chrome for all web…
Google meet works in firefox (at least dev edition).

#105I've dumped Chrome altogether since FF 67 was released. My only gripe is they still aren't blocking ALL ads, but regardless it's a way better user experience now than it ever was. Firefox 67 feels like a whole new beast compared to their older versions. If you haven't tried FF for a while I recommend doing so and I suggest trying it across multiple devices. The tab management, syncing, pinning and sending etc. across…

It’s nice to see a bit of Safari love around here. Some sites occasionally break, but I really like the macOS/iOS integrations. SMS code autofill on desktop Safari (via Mac iPhone communication) is pretty awesome.

#108I like these updates just as much as everyone else, but I can't help but think they seem a little bit like biting the hand that feeds you. What will they do when Google decides against renewing their Firefox search contract? Mozilla is highly dependent on the hundreds of million of dollars this contract provides.
