    Pick your poison: - directly owned by ad company - owned my incompetent mozilla (financially backed by biggest ad company). I'm not gonna lie I'm choosing Mozilla on this one.

  "Waterfox is thriving" eh? Sounds like wishful thinking to me. I get the loss of the XUL extensions is annoying for some people, but the rest of it sounds like pointless UI faffing of exactly the same kind people criticise Firefox for.
