It should be upgraded because chrome is growing rapidly.

Whenever other companies get caught doing shit that they shouldn't be doing, they downplay it by claiming it was just a bug.

Whenever Mozilla gets caught doing shit they shouldn't be doing (hello silent Mr. Robot extension installs!), they downplay it by calling it an experiment. "All criticism of our behavior should just be dismissed, because it was only an experiment."

And BTW, when did it become okay to start running random "experiments" on users' computing environments? The option that enabled e.g. the Mr Robot extension install was enabled by default. That means they're using their every day users as testers, much like the way someone is opting in to testing unstable software when they hit "check for updates" in Windows 10. Such is the design ethic (or lack there of) with mainstream software today.

FireFox is taking money from Soros.

I swapped to Brave, and barring a few hiccups, it's been good.

I use Chromium most of the time, though years ago FF used to be my preferred browser. In the last few years it got to be too slow, so I ditched it. After reading this, I'm glad I did!

  1. It's a fucking ad. It's served up with the exact same bullshit line ad execs use: to make the consumer aware of a product or service. So now Mozilla is blatantly lying, thinking we won't know the difference.

  2. It's only an "experiment" because people caught it and gave them shit for it.

Google pulls their purse strings. Their goal is to kill off Firefox.

Waterfox puts on a privacy friendly front in order to lure in newbies all the while sending out unsolicited requests. Just take a gander at their "privacy" policy which indicates Waterfox phones home with information about your system as well as sending data to Mozilla (You were trying to avoid that in the first place, right?).

Palemoon is scarcely better. Palemoon connects to Mozilla's geolocation services in addition to directing users traffic (out of the box) to Google and Twitter ads and analytics as well as other trackers.

Chromium still has services that silently communicate with Google. If you must use a chrome family browser, ungoogled-chromium is probably your best option.

Brave is chromium based. The 3 listed are all each different base things.

It has been pointed out that it turned to shit with the last update. Just install ublock origin on any of those 3 and you filter out most of it anyway. Also there are numerous threads on voat discussing browser privacy addons.

Stop using Firecucks. They're an SJW company that also like to push ads. Use Waterfox or a privacy-friendly Chrome fork.
