Sigh. Mozilla had just made Firefox usable again... And now good reasons for leaving it again are coming up.

Firefox is still great. You can turn this off trivially or provide your own server. This is, however, an excellent step towards securing the web.

Fully agree. I was also about to take the final move chromium -> firefox. Maybe it's time to fork firefox?

You can disable it...

But for the majority of users, it's probably good to have Mozilla negotiate favorable terms with a DNS provider that can be subject to audits, etc.

Who audits your ISP? Does Mozilla do that?

So what is the alternative? Chrome, edge, and Vivaldi?

I've been using Brave. It's beta quality software but works surprisingly well.

Brave on Android is the way to go. Literally the best browser.
