With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Al my passwords are in google. I just don't have the energy to migrate, frankly. Chrome does what I want, and the password manager is seamless enough that anything else is less-robust and more work.

I've been using the internet since 1999. I've been using Firefox before it was Firefox, and before it was Phoenix, back when it was just "Mozilla". (The original browser became SeaMonkey, but it's been slowly abandoned to the point that it doesn't work on modern sites anymore.) I've been frustrated at times and have sometimes used Chrome, Waterfox and Epiphany (Linux web browser) at times but I always come back to Firefox. Back in the Geocities era in 2000 Netscape 4.x was so poor at CSS I developed for Internet Explorer on my personal sites, (to my regret), but Mozilla eventually caught up.

I've always wondered how Mozilla / Firefox makes money? I see that its a non-profit. Looks like sponsored links and content on their new tab?

I switched to mull which I think is basically a fork of Firefox when bromite seemed to be dead.

No complaints it works great.

I only ever tried Chrome on school computers but it was useless, always kept crashing.

Been using Firefox for a long, very long time.

I use Firefox because I always did and because I don't want to support the Blink (Chromium web engine) monopoly that even Apples Webkit can barely keep up with but please don't think Mozilla (Firefox owners) are accaptable by any means, they just aren't as bad in my mind!

Ah really? I am out of the loop on Mozilla, can you elaborate on why they are also not acceptable?

I might consider it if they ever implement a modern sidebar like the rest of the others.

What’s wrong with Brave? Does this effect Brave?
