It really makes me sad every time Mozilla pulls stuff like this in Firefox. Firefox is basically the last usable mainstream browser outside of Google's indirect dominion via Chromium, and one of the few somewhat privacy respecting ones as well. I'm glad I project like LibreWolf exists to undo and rip out all of the stuff like this so that I can have a truly private and secure browser that isn't based on chromium instead of having to switch to Brave or something, because as much as I value my privacy and security I also value not giving in to Google's browser monopoly.
- stalfosknight 3y agoSafari is quite usable and very mainstream.
- logicprog 3y agoIs it FLOSS? Also, I don't really like Apple's software (or hardware), and I'd prefer a browser that was outside of all those large ecosystems/walled gardens. Safari probably is a cut above most though, AppleApple's relationship to privacy is... complicated.
- stalfosknight 3y agoThere's an entire universe of useful and well-designed software that isn't FLOSS. Being free or open source isn't the be-all and end-all for most people.
- simlevesque 3y ago> Safari is quite usable The majority of device with web browsers cannot use Safari. I can't use it at all.
- logicprog 3y agoYeah like I don't own any apple devices so it is useless to me
- stalfosknight 3y agoAnd that is your personal choice, not some permanent impossibility.
- simlevesque 3y agoI could code my own browser or pay someone to do it. There are endless possibilities.
- stalfosknight 3y agoThis doesn't disprove what I said. Millions of people all around the world use Safari every day.
- JohnFen 3y agoRight, it's just that the observation isn't helpful to anyone who isn't an Apple user.
- worble 3y ago>Safari is quite usable Not on any of my devices.

- fsflover 3y agoIt's also a question of (not) trusting mega-corporations with you most private things.
