  • Firefox is a privacy-friendly alternative to Chrome, using its own browser engine (Gecko) and offering strong privacy protections compared to Chromium-based browsers.
  • Despite its benefits, Firefox relies on Google for funding, raising concerns about its future, and some recent privacy decisions have drawn criticism.
  • Switching from Chrome to Firefox is simple, and alternatives like Mullvad Browser offer even stronger privacy for those seeking more protection.

I don't really understand all these articles explaining how to switch to Firefox. You install firefox and use it, that's all. During all those years when firefox was the black sheep, I tried chromium again and never felt any real difference in speed or productivity. Software is all about habits. 2 weeks with one browser and you forget that another exists. Might as well go for the cleanest.

They don't give a crap about the article usefulness, that's just more ads to sell.

Why do you think the web is so much riddled with crap content? More and more of it generated by clueless AI? It's not to be helpful to their readers, that I can tell you ;)
