> Our only hope is Mozilla takes their head out of their arse and start working on their browser instead of faffing about and making small, meaningless changes every release, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Tab syncing is a small meaningless change to me, but not to you. Some of these things you find small and meaningless could be important to some other people (for example, multilingual spell-checking is very important to some people, X11 isolation is very important to some others). What do you actually expect from Mozilla by "taking their head out of their arse" ?

> What do you actually expect from Mozilla by "taking their head out of their arse" ? Investing in their browser. Investing in an alternative ecosystem. Brave have added in-browser Torrent, TOR, IPFS support. That's what I would expect from Mozilla, trying to differentiate itself. Now we've lost the compact UI, got coloured themes for one release. What's cooking that's really exciting? What's the plan to retake some of the lost market share? I can't see any thirst to improve over there.

  > Brave have added in-browser Torrent Useless bloat. Dedicated torrent clients are made better and work better. > TOR Interesting, but the popular advice is to only use the Tor Browser. I don't know if that's good advice or not, but it certainly dampens my enthusiasm for Brave supporting Tor. > IPFS support. When I actually find a real use for IPFS, then I'll be able to form an opinion on it. Until then, it's just an obscure novelty to me. What can I actually do with it? Torrents and traditional websites together work for downloading/hosting/sharing anything I can think of.

  Hard disagree. I don't want Tor and torrents and email and other crapware on my browser. And not on my Firefox. It already has too much of that with pocket. They can focus on the engine and the UI. Leave useless stuff as separate applications.

  It’s quite easy if all you do is repackage chrome. Firefox manages to maintain and develop the only completely separate, open and free browser implementation which is nigh impossible a task.
