> Like yeah its default browser is Google because that's the way they can pay developers to work on it.

Not many people complain about this btw. It's a foolish argument. If Yahoo or DDG is the default, most people will just switch back to Google.

>only after asking for appropriate permission

No. it's opt out.

> which too is anonymous

No

>There is no firefox there are no forks

That's one of the most important points. Without Firefox, TOR browser will not exist either.

>But atleast if you use firefox daily show some love!

Yep! It's my default browser. Has killer features no other browser has.

That was in reply to a comment which was deleted by the commenter.

Oh never noticed that. But I think that's because its just annoyance for the people who don't care about privacy. And those who does can just opt out.

Whatever it maybe I trust Mozilla more than Google. I am not being a fanboy too. Mozilla is not some giant tech company selling your data to advertisers.

Opt-out is still a dark pattern. For those who don't care about privacy, it should default to no data collection, with simple language detailing what will be collected, and what it's used for.

I'm still in your camp though in that I'd trust Mozilla to not sell my data and instead use it to only improve their products.
