There are other browsers better than Ff that focus on privacy just the same, if not more aggressively.
Mozilla lost track when they started with their FfPhone, FfOS, and other bullshit projects. They forgot about their core product and it shows. Ff is still way slower, even with the Rust parts they took from Servo.
Then that they kick out their best developers if they have a "wrong opinion" (in the sjw's view) doesn't help either.
- jen20 7y agoWhich ones? I'm often interested in switching away from Safari, but the default has been Firefox so far, which has not been worthwhile outside of a second browser for when Ghostery et al are too aggressive for some vital site.

- BlueTemplar 7y agoIt's based on Chrome - too much risk of Google being able to cripple it if it becomes important enough?
- ldiracdelta 7y agoThe chromium source code is open source. At the point that Google attempts to cripple them, they just fork. A big bummer to fork, but certainly they won't be crippled.
- 101404 7y agoPlease don't spread lies. It is based on Chromium.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoI don't see how it makes a significant difference? How safe would you feel with a competitor to Google's Android based on AOSP ?
