I'm very happy about this change. Hopefully Firefox would gain a plethora of new users.

  Mozilla is really no better than Google... in fact Chromium on my Linux distro vastly outperforms Firefox.

    What does performance on a Linux distro has anything to do with Mozilla being better/not better than Google?
    • techntoke 8y ago
      Because Firefox doesn't offer any extra security controls over Chromium, in fact I would say they are way worse than vanilla Chromium on Arch. Therefore it makes sense to go with the browser that performs well, rather than one consuming a bunch of resources unnecessarily.

        what security controls are you referring to? Also, I think we were talking about performance. How is performance relevant to security controls? And again, how does that imply that Mozilla is better/not better than Google? I'm starting to believe I'm talking to a bot.

          I'm referring to the security controls that Mozilla and their Apple-like fan group claims give it an advantage over Chromium. I am saying that I do not believe that it has any security or privacy advantage to Chromium, and the performance is worse, so there is no reason to be in the Mozilla cult-like fan club.
