These are valid complaints; frankly Mozilla hasn't been the steward that I would like for them to be, but I really struggle to understand how these are enough to make someone switch to Chrome. They're all things that make FireFox less better, but surely not worse?
The auto-installed addons thing was a bit of a fiasco (though one which didn't affect me), but things like advertising or extension support are still worlds better in FireFox than on Chrome.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoYeah, I have the same feeling. Chrome feels like a carefully planned campaign of tricks to enter every aspect of your life and make it controlled by Google. Facebook feels like a browser with occasional frantic episodes of random folks having an idea "let's make money on $this" (where $this is so stupid you can't believe it), and the usually it disappears and another person has another equally brilliant idea. Not ideal, but I can live with that, it doesn't even come close to what Google is doing. And each year they go further.
- loudtieblahblah 5y agooh i'm not switching to Chrome. FF is still my main driver. but boy has it made Brave more attractive. I just feel like Mozilla has a very "Democratic Party" attitude. They do really stupid shit that no one likes and stares you square in the eye and says "what are you gonna do about it - vote for the other guy?" and it's super frustrating.
