Switch to Firefox? By Mozilla? The company that just said they are ramping up ads and AI garbage?
Good luck.
Sooooo ALL of the things google is doing even harder?
Compared to Google they are saints.
Do~~n't be~~ evil
Firefox is FOSS. Just use a privacy oriented fork of it :)
So say I'm dumb and don't know how to find a fork like that...
I would search “Firefox forks for privacy” or something like that
Fair enough! Thanks!
Librewolf is the one i use
Awesome, much appreciated!
how many people will do this though? most people don't even bother switching away from chrome...
That’s fine. My goal is not to evangelize people and force everyone to use he same thing. A lot of people will stick to chrome, and other people will use Firefox, and even smaller subset will use privacy oriented forks of Firefox. Get this mf some diversity.
the benefits of it only come around if a bunch of people are doing it.
whats bad about this is google's monopoly and influence over the market, not individual people's preferences.
Sadly Mozilla is not immune to following the dumb fads that run through Silicon Valley, but Firefox is still clearly the best browser option.
I agree. I'm using it right now!
But they have certainly been outlining some poor decisions in the last few weeks.
