...there seems to be demand for something that isn't FF.
There is a demand for something that is really privacy focused.
In other words, something that isn't directly connected to Google with a blatantly obvious conflict of interest.

- jqpabc123 3y agoHow is that less associated with google? Blink is an open source rendering engine. This allows alternative browsers to fork Blink/Chromium and strip out and remove any and all tracking, telemetry and data collection and produce a product that is privacy respecting by default. Mozilla could easily do the same with FF --- but they simply refuse to. Instead, every install of FF downloaded directly from Mozilla is unique. It comes with a unique identifier embedded along with lots of telemetry and data collection enabled by default --- including allowing Mozilla to install and run "studies" on your computer with no further consent required. https://www.ghacks.net/2022/03/17/each-firefox-download-has-a-unique-identifier/ https://www.ghacks.net/2022/03/17/each-firefox-download-has-...
