Ah, the hate-chorus when the people making the only browser keeping choice alive does... Literally anything.
After Mozilla introduced "Allow web sites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement", I was out for good now. I moved to forks like Floorp, LibreWolf or Waterfox.
Yeah I read about that and it's in no way a breach of privacy. So you overreacted, probably without even researching what you were reacting to
No I didn't overrated. Users where opt-in in ad tracking by default after that Firefox update. Users were not notified about this. And "privacy-preserving ad measurement" is misleading on purpose, I don't understand why you would fall for that too.
This all happened when Mozilla bought an ad company called Anonym. I'm fully done with Firefox now. I moved to a Firefox fork.
But they are forks and they rely on Firefox development. Using them is fine, but with Mozilla funding and keeping up with browser development, they'd be poor
Its a bit like Brave taking Chromium, changing a few lines and saying "we built a browser".
