I get it about the corporation issues but do you even dislike firefox? Do you think it would be positive to have one less alternative to chrome? What browser do you use?

  1. Yes, I dislike it.
  2. I have been using FF for almost 20 years. Left it in 2021. The crappy redesign has been the last straw for me, after few years of seriuos UX/UI decline. And no, I'm not going to waste my time unfucking it using about:config or CSS.
  3. I use Brave and pretty like it. I don't care what people may think of it or its CEO. It's a fine browser and the community is way less toxic than Mozilla's one. I'll keep using it.
  4. I don't care (anymore) if Firefox lives or die (it's doomed anyway, thanks to Mozilla).
