Yes, there's good reason why I'm posting this from https://www.palemoon.org/ https://www.palemoon.org/ which is Firefox without the politics - Chrome is too intrusive and non-transparent about its intrusion to boot.

- sleepychu 11y agoYup, to be on top of the security stuff is a really expensive thing to do.
- dingdingdang 11y agoSaw this late: I believe they have a running policy of porting all security stuff from main rep FF and adding additional hardening on top (by disabling semi baked features and removing legacy stuff, like XP support, at a much quicker rate than regular FF releases). But how this is managed in terms of man-hours/pay/etc. - haven't got the faintest: organisational transparency is expensive but would be ever so great to get right for software vendors on the whole!
