I have seen only inside Chrome as I was debugging some edgecases; it’s very google C++, but once you get used to the enormous size, it’s not that hard to follow.

I hadn't seen that, that is definitely another negative for me, but mostly I'm concerned with the constant lip service to users and privacy while simultaneously removing usefulness and eroding privacy in the software itself. Firefox's only selling point right now is "we aren't chrome (yet)" and if I won't fall for that line of thinking at the ballot box I'm certainly not falling for it here. All they have to do is be…
Since that's where most users are, I hope Mozilla will be able to communicate these advantages better. Chrome is arguably better on the desktop for most users, unless they're in the tiny subset of users who care about privacy.
It makes me sad that FF browser share has continued to decline steadily. The past couple years of releases have been some its the best in terms of my own UX, since perhaps the Phoenix era. It's pretty fast these days, the UI is good, has a lot of great extensions and privacy features. I use Brave at work to have a better chrome-based experience with gsuite. It's also a fast, excellent browser with good privacy featur…
I still ask myself: has FF browser share actually dropped that much, or has FF's privacy focus caused browser share estimates to mostly miss FF users in their counts? Most of these stats come from the exact kind of skeevy companies that I (and many other FireFox users) are using FireFox to avoid.

I’ve watched the decline for years, straight from the source. These usage numbers are not affected by privacy settings.

> FF browser share has continued to decline steadily Is that really a fact though? I read somewhere that >80% FF users have Ad Blocker installed. Wouldn't that keep it hidden to Google Analytics and similar outfits that come up with browser usage stats?
Do you trust Mozilla? They share the numbers.
I'd like to mention (once again), that Firefox on Android is a huge leap in everyday browsing experience over Chrome - and you should try it if you haven't. Due to mainly one reason: ad blocker extensions; which aren't supported on Chrome. Since that's where most users are, I hope Mozilla will be able to communicate these advantages better.

Firefox: We're the "best for a free web". Also Firefox: We support internet censorship. (source: CEO of Mozilla, link: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplat... )
Which part of that article advocates for censorship?
Not to mention what immediately follows, advocating for something beyond this in the future: "This is how we can begin to do that."
Looking forward to the silently installed browser extension that hides search results and social media posts that they don't want you to see. (related: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/mozilla-back...)

After the rewrite things were super fast but it has gotten slower each release.

Firefox seems to be the only hope to avoid a duopoly dominated by forces that are anti-privacy and anti-user. I recently made the move from Safari to Firefox and I am very pleased. This being said, I agree with you about the optics of Firefox management. There is a lot going on that isn't good and the personal enrichment of the executives feels all sorts of wrong. If FF management can not be good stewards of a vital…
Is there a way to simplify moving password management out of Keychain and into Firefox?
