You wanted less controversy from the makers of your browser so you went for Chrome by Brave eau de toilet. I'm confused.
That's like going from an environmental-protection group to environmental-destroying group bcs previously the latter group didn't want to send you pamphlets anymore.
I'm guessing the web app made for Chrome didn't work in Firefox?
And that ads don't bother you.
... but this case is exactly why I want more disclosures when we bitch about Mozilla/Firefox.
It's imperative that thought all the bitching newbies are aware of that they are seeing the process of how we keep Mozilla informed (and how they get inputs, and how they then ultimately decide to go forward).
And to understand that none of this process is happening for Chromium, def not here.
I don't think a comparison with environmental activism really applies here. They are just browsers.
I don't really get this Firefox community either. Why is everybody pissed all the time at everyone who doesn't cheer for Firefox all the time. Sometimes it looks like a cult.
The main problem is that it's a decision between making a monopoly win (google with chrorium that take almost all the marketshare) and the possibility to overthrow it, "they are just browsers" well- yeah they are, until you notice how the kind of influence you, just look at how google want to ban adblockers so bad and want to make other shitty moves, i suggest to look further
It's only a part of the community, and it's the loud part*. Please ignore them and don't lump everyone together.
.* i actually don't notice them much tbh, so i don't think that they are that loud but it could be just me being lucky
