As an avid OSS supporter, I used to be a Firefox user until I got frustrated by its restrictive policies.
For example, the addon store would block certain addons from being installed, or some settings were hidden or disabled by default.
On Android, they only allow a handful of whitelisted addons and prevent you from installing anything else.
This goes against the spirit of OSS, which is supposed to be highly customizable and user-friendly. I really hope they stop treating us as children.
