I want to like Firefox. It is at least a tolerable alternative to Chrome.

But the Mozilla foundation just taints it. Every time they come out with one of their sanctimonious PR releases they make me want to have less to do with them. I think they've completely lost their focus.

I end up bouncing between Chrome, Firefox, and Brave. Brave makes me the happiest, but it's a minor player, and I'm worried about it's long-term prospects.




Brave only exists because Mozilla fired eich for some donations he made to an anti gay-marriage group, iirc. I really dislike the donation he made, but firing people for their legal personal political behaviour is like poison to a free society


Eich wasn't fired. He resigned because people didn't want to follow him.


You don’t speak for me, so why are you writing “He resigned because” here?


Well, to me personally this might be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. Time to ditch Firefox and switch to Brave for good.


I switched to brave on desktop and mobile and couldn't be happier. They're willing to try and push new boundaries if you're into the whole crypto domain.


I really wish Brave didn’t use Chromium.

Is there some non-Mozilla Foundation fork of Firefox?


I use waterfox.
