    Yet people keep recommending products by this scummy company and pile on Firefox for slightest missteps.

      Mozilla should be scrutinized, even if Firefox is currently the best option.

      I think the only thing keeping them inline is loud community backlash everytime they make one of those misssteps.

        I think everyone should be held to the same standard. We can yell at Firefox a bit less. We should yell at Brave a lot more.

        Sorry man, but the minute Firefox added that keylogger, I dipped.

        Firefox rendering engine is dogshit and they are massively behind.

        This coming from someone that was using Netscape and Mozilla and Firefox since its release.

          Firefox doesn’t include a keylogger. It does have the infamous privacy preserving attribution but this can easily be disabled in settings.

          In contrast, Chrome is literally a tool for Google to gain as much personal information as possible for Googles advertisement platform. It has the worst privacy features of the three major browsers and cannot be fully made private due to crippled extension support.

          Firefox engine has some catching up to do, but the Safari rendering engine is behind Firefox on features.

          I find LibreWolf to be the better option for privacy, I never have an issue with rendering.

          I don’t know what you’re on about. There is no keylogger and I don’t have any issues with the engine unless it’s some weird ass “chrome experiments” style website which I couldn’t care less about.

          You either die a Netscape Navigator, or you live long enough to become a… any of em, really.

      They removed the paw, they are worse than Chrome! I’m going to use an alternative version that cannot exist without the main project to teach them a lesson!

      Alternatives being even worse doesn’t make firefox good, or invalidate any objective criticism against it.

      this is a new browser and i have no idea why anyone would want to use it

      because Brave is unchanged and still the best browser in the world right now

      WOOOO!
