> I have plenty of arguments against Firefox, but engaging in browser holy wars is so tiresome.
I think you're trying to make up irrational excuses.
If you feel the need to criticise something and be vocal about it, the very least that's expected from you is that you present your basis that sparked your vocal criticism of something.
If you are very vocal to shit talk about something but cannot present any basis supporting your personal opinion or put together a coherent argument, that tells everything to know about what credit should be given to what you feel compelled to say.
> I used Firefox since before it was called Firefox up until v89 (I think) when I finally had enough. That's when they for the millionth time messed up the UI in new fanciful ways, and removed more features I relied upon daily.
Firefox's UI barely changed in over a decade.
The biggest change they rolled out in the last decade was introducing and removing Pocket, and the sidebar and vertical tab support introduced last year.
> It's a pattern going back decades,
Point out exactly what you single out as what you feel represents the best example.
So far you wrote a wall of text and mentioned absolutely nothing that supported such a visceral opinion.
> So in summary, for me it was very much a paper-cuts thing (...)
You mentioned no paper cut. You just wrote a wall of text about nothing. No wonder you shielded yourself behind "browser holy wars" nonsense.
