#22> Firefox is the only major browser not built by a company that makes money from advertising and/or selling your personal data This is true for Google, etc, but definitely not for Apple. Not saying Apple is perfect in every way, but they actually have a track record for privacy protection.
Brave runs on Chrome and has some of the highest privacy protections.
I love Firefox, but just questioning if there aren’t good solutions available on Chrome.
And while Apple may not have a business model as focused on selling data, they still have a growing ad business + weaker protections against fingerprinting and ad blocking

#23The microsecond manifest v3 is forced upon me, I will switch. And I'll be bringing my entire family tree and friends along with me! What does everyone think about LibreWolf vs mainline FF? It reminds me of Waterfox: https://librewolf.net
Why re v3?

#24>1. Privacy
Firefox is the only major browser not built by a company that makes money from advertising and/or selling your personal data.
Mozilla tracks and gives (sells?) unique information about every download to Google unless you choose to grab it from the FTP servers.

#28I am not going back to Firefox anytime soon after they kicked out Brendan Eich for his personal views. Whether we agree or not with his personal views, open source should not be influenced by political agenda, neither by wokeness

#29Firefox user since before it was Firefox. Daily: Firefox with probably too many blockers, tampermonkey, umatrix, Stylus. I aggressively block any and every element on sites I visit regularly. You get no stats from me. Also daily: Firefox Developer Ed for frequently visited sites where I need to login and every site is in a container tab. Brave - my daily puzzle fix for Wordle, Wordiply, Travle, Tradle (no logins, cle…

#30We all switched to Firefox back in the day because it was better. Better than IE, there was no chrome and safari was a joke. Entreaties and ‘trying to make Fetch (firefox) happen’ won’t work, evidently. How do we make Firefox obviously better ? I’m core market for Firefox and just use Safari. Better battery life. And it’s just as good for privacy. At least that’s my impression. Is it wrong? If I don’t use it there’s…
