I now use Brave on everything: Linux, Mac, iOS, iPadOS. Mozilla has some really weird stuff going on in their financials that bother me, and as a result, I just can’t use their products anymore. This is similar to my feelings about Google, Microsoft, and so on. I prefer tech companies to just be tech companies and not branch into other fields. I understand that Brave’s stance on certain things bleeds into politics wi…
I read -- skimmed, but I think that's fair -- through a dozen pages to try to understand your point and nothing jumped out at me. There's a part where they talk about how they made a few thousand dollars from credit card rewards points. I did a ctrl+f for "woke" and "transgender" and "critical race theory" and "covid vaccination" and "cico versus macro-based dieting strategies" and didn't find anything. It's a little frustrating because I spent more time trying to figure out your point than you spent to make it.

It has nothing to do with your politics, but I shall continue to not care about Mozilla's financials.
I vehemently disagree with almost all of its design decisions, and with every new release they seem to stray even farther from sane UX.
It has hamburger menus on desktop and a lot of weird space-saving design that makes no sense on a modern high resolution display. Buttons are small, have cryptic flat Linear B icons with no labels, and the menus are hard to navigate.
It's also nearly impossible to disable all the tracking they do. Even if you do, they'll sometimes remotely change your settings, so there's no guarantee settings will stay the way you configured them. They love to talk about how privacy is important and keep building tools to disable other people's tracking, but their own data gathering is sacrosanct and must be retained at all costs.
Overall Mozilla seems to wage an all-out war on user agency, constantly trying to take away configuration options, while pushing shit nobody wants like Pocket or their themes.
I use Waterfox personally, but it's a minor difference. Some lesser known extensions: LocalCDN Tab Session Manager Feedbro Enhancer for YouTube Request Control Trace There is a lot of configuration you can do with a user.js file as well. I took a lot of options from the tor browser config since I value privacy.

In addition: - SponsorBlock - Automatically tag and skip portions of youtube videos, such as sponsors, intros, recaps, and others. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/ - Firefox Relay - Automatically create up to 5 (for free, more if paying for it) email addresses that redirect to your actual address, to avoid giving your private address to everyone. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo…
This is very obviously an ad… at the top of the front page… Y’all crack me up sometimes.
(this is my own experience, FWIW, but I understand not everyone has this.)
