I know the title itself will result in a ban because also the people behind firefox are not alright but we know that.

I think firefox is broken though I read posts FF is alright but the team is not.

Well i cant stand FF anymore. Not the people, the browser. I fear of the echochamber and incel brigade I will just outline some points that drove me away from FF and the forks.

  1. the design is shittier every iteration. EVERY iteration. The amount of whitespace with action/magic bar or whatever

  2. the tech behind the design is shittier every iteration. you install FF and it defaults to “os theme design” which can be ANYTHING from dynamic changes in the evening to whatever someone riced. This makes FF unuseable unless you are kid that just uses Google search. No, this functions makes pages ugly, hardly ever makes sense and is mocking the user! there are extensions to switch between light and dark, the weirdos at Moz again went full god mode and make all decisions for you. (like gutenberg for wordpress kind of)

  3. the people behind the tech behind the design are shit. I met few at events in europe - and thats how i imagine insane people with a god complex.

  4. the company behind the people behind the tech behind the design is shit by definition. sell us to google. betray us for facist america…you’ve done it all.

so, when is their next roadshow in europe…just asking for a friend.

    Firefox literally supports tech that Google tries to get rid off, such as ad blockers and Manifest v2. I do not think that Google pays Mozilla to do what they want, its just for the default search engine (which can be changed anytime anyway). Unless your point is proven, I put it in conspiracy category (nothing wrong about talking conspiracies, I do this myself too). It’s just important to have a distinction between facts and opinions.

      Firefox dropped app support and their version of electron, just as half the app market is moving towards pwa’s. Just coincidence that google has a monopoly on that market now.

      Firefox worked with google to develop the “privacy sandbox”. Where instead of tracking just with cookies, they now just straight up tell your church’ website that you’re gay as soon as you visit. Handy for targeted ads.

      Firefox also conveniently backs out of some random css standards just to rename them. Making google chrome better supported for no reason other than just cuz.

      It’s been an odd thing with them for a while now. Also why does firefox insist on absolute garbage tab, bookmark and history management. There used to be proper customization, but they removed it when chrome came in with… simple history and smooth tab management :/
