Yeah but for example fingerprinting is either fully on or fully off

Switching defaults hurt fingerprinting more than it helps so at that point might as well stay with the default firefox

Valid point then. We need compatibility with gecko, I always found it better looking than chromium

Librewolf is too restrictive and not suitable for everyday browsing. I hate it.

never tested cromite

Brave has a built in ad blocker

at this point you're just hating on brave for nothing

Brave: injected affiliate links once, then apologised for it too. Developped a search engine to be less dependent on big companies

Mozilla is spending money like crazy, just like Wikipedia, has little to no democratic system which makes people fork the stuff they make, and prefer to use the money from donation to buy trips all over the world to educate about privacy and shit while they proceed to keep adding more telemetry and BS in firefox

They also make it close to impossible to install plugins outside their plugins website, which I've heard has some strict rules and take a lot of time to approve stuff. Closed garden bullshit again

I'm pretty sure if Firefox/Mozilla decides to change their policy on something, most forks of firefox will have no choice but follow the same path

afaik all firefox forks are really small, just like chromium forks

Mozilla might not have as much conflicting interests though, I admit it

Sure, so? It's still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit

If you don't like it, don't enable it? They're pretty transparent about how it works overall

They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways

it has better anti fingerprinting than firefox? That's nice to know

Sure, that sucks, but the product is good

You can't always agree with everyone

Uh... no? It just puts sponsored backgrounds when you open new tabs or windows notifications if you opt-in

It never replaced ads in websites afaik
