Have been a strong(!) advocate for Firefox for years. Now it is time to switch. Not sure where to yet, Chrome is not any better, Palemoon is not exactly well supported. Maybe Brave, Vivaldi, or Opera, though they are all Chrome-based as well. Difficult decision and not very happy about it, as I do think we need more than just one browser engine, but I can't support Mozilla any more.

Hard to pass up $500M/yr
Do they really need all that money? They could perhaps get good money, even if considerably less, from DDG.

As a brown person I keep asking myself this everyday, it doesn't seem fair at all. If you raise the point you're making you'll be drowned out with "don't bring me your whataboutism, lives are being lost as we speak". Brown lives have been lost for quite a while now ...
People are dying in Yemen every single day, and the world doesn't exclude Saudi Arabia from everything. The double standard happens right now even.

Why? Honest question.
Because I do not condone that move.
It will be difficult because I have been using Firefox for years and tried to avoid anything Chrome-based and I am not very happy with Google's Manifest v3 approach, but Mozilla just crossed a red line for me.

I'm sorry but comments that harken back to ye old Rome are infuriating and it leaves a sour taste in ones mouth. I know this war is bad, but man people need to just own up, otherwise none of us can more forward. Pax Americana is fine, but you don't get to kill people and then turn back and tell me to wave a flag because grand old Europe is having it's "freedom" threatened.

"The Iraq Body Count project documents 185,000–208,000 violent civilian deaths through February 2020 in their table. All estimates of Iraq War casualties are disputed."
The official civilian casualties count in Ukraine so far is 600, according to the UN. Both wars are horrible.
can we recognize the difference between civilians (people) and armed participants in conflict (military) in this discussion?

>So, by your moral standard, the entire Earth should have isolated the US economy when the US government/military was killing Iraqi and Afghani civilians and destroying non-military targets, right? The entire planet should also be isolating Saudi Arabia for its genocidal war in Yemen? Probably, yes. That never would have happened, but that would indeed be the logical conclusion. And I'm fine with that.
That's good of you to admit, it means you have a moral consistency here. Interestingly, most of the US politicians supported by the MSM (right and left) were all for the Iraq War and its dubious justifications (Yellowcake), republican or democrat. With a few exceptions such as POTUS 45
Trump was for the Iraq war at the time. See https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/29/politics/fact-check-trump-fal...
Just 6 months before the invasion there is a recording of an interview where he said he was for the war.
> "Are you for invading Iraq?" Howard Stern asked him, and Trump answered, "Yeah, I guess so."

Thank you for your answer. Could you elaborate on it?
Is it a software freedom question to you? Or perhaps a free speech one?
