#2No it is not. Why?
- Browser fingerprinting protection? Nope
- No ads on start page? Nope
- Https everywhere? Nope
- Ad block? Nope
If you want to support firefox, download TOR browser.
Else, use brave. But please don't support further degradation of privacy in the web.

#3Actual paying users would be better than millions of users that just want to complain. At this point with so much immorality online, what browser you use is just a matter of taste.

I'd like to correct myself: the new nightly build from Firefox supports browser fingerprinting protection:

And thanks for downvoting the original comment despite valid concerns and a link to the TOR browser.

#5Is there any reason why you should use Firefox over Safari in this case then? How are we defining the "moral superiority" of web browsers here because it all seems to bit iffy to me. Why not use NetSurf if we're really talking, something that's actually open source and not only in name like Mozilla does with Firefox.

#6It is Mozilla Corporation's leadership moral obligation to resign for their privacy scandals and mismanagement of Firefox.

#7No mention of Safari here (or Epiphany on Linux). The latest version of Intelligent Tracking Prevention 2.1 is pretty good at fingerprint protection.

Arguably that Firefox is open source, and Safari is not.

Safari doesn't support disabling click tracking anymore:

Firefox does this (as well TOR and brave)

#10lol at firefox in 2019. It's a joke of a browser. Gimped to the biggest extreme. It's basically a chrome clone.
edit: I mean I use it (not the latest version anyway) but with distaste.
