        If you are so keen to know, then you will just have to wait a few more years. Firefoxes development is rapidly derailing into nonsense recently. They will have to either kick out their current leadership or they will be reduced to a data sucking, adware company sooner or later.

          Oh yes, as opposed to Google or Microsoft who definitely aren’t already data-sucking, predatory adware companies. No thanks, I’ll stick with the lesser evil.

          If you’re going to lie to everyone at least make it sound believable.

            Do you read any tech news? If so how did u miss every single mozilla headline of the past months? Something being the lesser evil doesnt turn truths into lies.

              You’ve read the articles? Cool, can you give me a rundown of all the terrible things Mozilla has done in the past months?

              So you admit you’re only reading headlines and base your opinion on it?

              Did the thought cross your mind that all the billion dollar companies behind for-profit browsers might have an interest in Firefox failing?

      Who do we turn to for a browser? Not chromium based I don’t trust google codebase.

        Orion for macOS is pretty awesome.

        I actually love Safari but on my work computer I’m forced to use their VPN and can’t run my ad blocking DNS stuff on it, so I use Orion with uBlock Origin on it. It’s basically Safari (built on WebKit) with support for Chrome and Firefox plug-ins (which can be selectively disabled).

        Yeah idk either sadly. But i know that having only two relevant browsers on the market is like the US party system. Destined to fail.

        Nothing lasts forever just like Steam or anything else will one day turn to shit. But pretending like everything is fine will just lead to lots of “we shouldve seen it coming”.

          I think it comes down to what you’re willing to sacrifice. If I can do banking that’s the hard line for me, so JS at the very least.
