I don't use Firefox because instead of a simple OSS software, it seems like something that wants to suck me into their ecosystem. Nearly every tab of Firefox settings has some "cloudy"/cross marketing stuff:
- General: Recommend extensions as you browse
- Home: Pocket, Sponsored {shortcuts,stories}, Tips and news from Mozilla
- Search: nothing
- Privacy & Security: Suggestions from Sponsors, Firefox data collection, Dangerous site blocking
- Sync: (by it's nature)
- More from Mozilla: (by it's nature)
- Extensions & Themes: (by it's nature)
- Firefox Support: (by it's nature)
Meanwhile you check Safari:
- General: Nothing
- Tabs: Nothing
- Autofill: Nothing
- Passwords: Nothing
- Search: Nothing
- Security: Fraudulent site warnings
- Privacy: Apple Pay and Apple Card
- Websites: Nothing
- Extensions: (by it's nature)
- advanced: Nothing
Maybe it doesn't feel sleazy compared to Chrome, but it does compared to Safari.
