All downhill since Mozilla forced Brendan Eich out. I droped FireFox about then and now use Brendon’s “Brave” browser.

Absolutely no mention of this in the article at all, but it’s true. I’m waiting for Brave to get up to speed.

Get woke, go broke.

I am right there with you. Mozilla claims to be committed to privacy, but IMHO that is an out and out lie. After Brendan was kicked out, they started the Pocket thing, and they want you to turn that on and set up an account with them. If they really cared about privacy, such a thing would not even cross their minds. All Mozilla is good for these days is to produce source code that others (like Tor) can vet and modify for privacy. They should just shut up and fix their buggy sh!t so that trustworthy people can take it over and make something useful of it.

BTW, Brave is great, highly recommended. I just wish Jim Robinson would set up his account and collect the BAT I have been trying to send him.

So true. I'm still upset about that. I'm strongly tempted to Bravely go tilting at windmills but mostly I just stick with Safari and bite my tongue. I've given up on Mozilla and won't use Chrome directly.

Took a little while longer than I thought but still a good thing.

I haven’t used Firefox for the same reason, Eich’s removal. I use Palemoon and SlimJet (Mozilla/Chromium) now.

I want to completely go to Brave, but I can't get cynwoody's Freerepublic Tree Viewer to work on Brave (which is supposed to be like Chrome.. but I still can't get it working). I can only get it working on FF, unfortunately (not going to use chrome).
