Here's one more: It's not Google.
- mrweasel 4y agoIt was my primary reason to drop Chrome twelve years ago. Every so often I try Chrome again, but other than a minor speed boost, I see no reason to switch back. The UI isn’t great, nor is resource usage. These days I don’t bother installing an alternative browser and just use Safari.
- timerol 4y ago> Ask current Firefox users why they switched, and you’ll often hear “It’s not Chrome.” Pretty sure they covered that in the last reason of TFA
- stackbutterflow 4y agoSame reason for me. Firefox would have to be utterly broken for me to switch to chrome.
- account42 4y ago> It's not Google. It's still almost exclusively funded by Google though.
- ajyotirmay 4y agoHowever Google does it to avoid anticompetitive lawsuit,and not for helping snoop on users for Google
- account42 4y agoWe can only speculate about Google's true motivations and there is no reason to believe that it is only that. You can't deny that a privacy focused browser having their funding depend on one of the primary privacy violators on the web is a conflict of interest. Even if Google is not directly pressuring Mozilla to implement/not implement things, Mozilla is still going to be hesitant to piss off Google too much.
