It surprises me how many people here can be extremely critical of Firefox/Mozilla and claim that Chrome-based browsers are better when they're _so much worse_.

I'm not saying that Mozilla is infallible - they're definitely not - but for all their questionable decisions, they're still the best player in the browser market and the only one fighting for the free web.
Do I wish Mozilla were better at managing Firefox? Of course. Is their lacklustre management enough for me to change to Google's almost monopoly? Hell no.

They often willingly trade their users' best interests with abject nonsense and gaslight them when they complain. I know this might be an extreme position to take, but if Mozilla truly wanted the best for internet users, it should dissolve and deprecate their browser. Their death would leave behind a large clearing for other projects that actually put their users first. I use Brave now and I hate it, but at least they seem to actually care about my privacy.
