If you’re lucky, some friendly malicious website will compromise you for the sole purpose of updating your copy of Firefox before someone else compromises you for a more nefarious purpose.

  It is a risk, but one I have chosen to take in the short-term. I really dislike the direction Mozilla is going and I will probably have to switch browsers in 2022.

    Which browser vendor goes to a direction you'd like? I'm just curious because as much as I disagree with many of Mozilla decisions, I still can't honestly compare it to other browser vendors like Google, Apple, and Microsoft.

      Truthfully, I'm starting to feel browser-homeless, for lack of a better term. I'm using FF because I don't want to be on Chrome. I don't have a problem with Chromium based browsers, though, so I gave Edge a try. Turns out, Edge really really REALLY wants me to be logged into my Microsoft account and I am weary of just how tightly Microsoft's products are integrated to the browsing experience. So that's a no-go. Safari's UI is just not for me and it has atrocious plugin/extension support. I'll probably just find some fork of Firefox or a Chromium based browser and just make-do.
