> How is that a move against the Firefox userbase
Were this 10 years ago, I'd say nothing. Today, google is turning into one of the worst at using user data against the users. From pushing ads disguised as search results to mining user data for adverts across platforms.
Making google the default search engine opts non-savvy users into using a bad actor for their searches.
- triceratops 11mo agoI see. And that makes it a bad browser for you? You're clearly capable of switching the default. What's your complaint? Do you pay for Firefox?
- cogman10 11mo ago> And that makes it a bad browser for you? No, I'm just stating why using google as the default engine is user hostile. > What's your complaint? Mostly that it's a user hostile move. Is it bad enough to make me personally switch? No. Part of why I use firefox is because I don't like the idea of consolidation for browsers into one renderer. Organizations can make decisions I don't like and I'll still use their products. I'm allowed to identify those as issues. Mozilla hasn't done something that'd make me boycott their products. > Do you pay for Firefox? Yes, I donate to the Mozilla foundation.
