Lol, lmao. Still deleting firefox, get fucked. Mozilla betrayed its users trust by choosing to follow this slop trend, and they'll suffer the consequences.
- & you'll suffer the consequences of monopoly. Wait it out until LadyBird & Servo gets fully tested out
  
  Why should I wait it out with a company that's betrayed the userbase's trust when it comes to not only privacy, but by also implementing a feature that everyone KNOWS is harmful to both the planet and society as a whole.
  I've already moved browsers to one that respects its users enough to not push something that's a quick cashgrab while it burns the planet and harvests our data.
  
  You should wait for a proper Alternative or make one yourself. Because Chrome is not that
  
  I already moved from chrome to firefox, now from firefox to waterfox
  
  Ok that's good.
- So you'll just not visit websites at all anymore?
  
  The rms approach looks better and better.
  
  Yep, never using the internet again. Firefox is the only platform available to browse the internet, and since they're sloppifying themselves I'm leaving the whole internet.
  
  Well you haven't exactly specified what browser you're moving to, so we're left wondering if you're using a Servo dev build, a terminal-based browser, or carrier pigeons.
  
  Sorry pal, forogt the /S tone indicator
  
  I'm not really sure how that's a response to my comment.
  Looks like from another response, you moved to Waterfox? You're still using a fork of Firefox, though your comment made it sound like you moved entirely away from Mozilla (Waterfox still depends on Mozilla developing FF, from my understanding).
  Anyway, seems like a good choice at least. Personally, I'm on Zen now. Hopefully we'll get a real alternative at some point though.
  
  That's my bad, seemed like you were taking my comment at face value instead of seeing it was me being snarky at the user saying "So you'll just not visit websites at all any more?" As if firefox/chrome were the only options for web browsers.
  Aye, still using a fork of firefox because the baseline application is still solid, just using one that's designed to be respectful of its users. And clearly open about what it foes in the background.
  Touch wood Zen is a solid one for you (also holding out hope for a developer to provide an actual web browser without all this data harvesting bollocks)
