        Because I don’t like Mozilla and don’t want to give them market share. And, well, because it suck badly.

            A real answer, they pay their ceo millions, and they are hiring gen ai and ads engineers.

            They stopped focusing on their core web browser product

            LOL, why should I justify my choices to a stranger on the internet? I don’t like Mozilla. Full stop.

              You didn’t full stop though. It also “suck badly”. I think it’s reasonable to wonder what makes it suck so badly, and they merely asked.

                There’s some weird people with a hate boner for Mozilla and nobody knows why. I suspect they’re paid by a competitor.

                  Having a hate boner for Mozilla is one thing. Not being willing to hold your nose and use Firefox (or at least a Gecko-based browser) anyway is another. It’s the latter whom I suspect to be acting in bad faith.

              What I was asking was to not completely disregard your entire opinion, like anyone who is civil should allow you to provide. This was not a hostile question which you apparently have misunderstood. Seeing “sucks badly” with no context gives me little to no reason to agree with you. But I guess you’d rather just be aggressively stubborn.

          Can you quantify why you don’t like Mozilla?

          I understand why someone might find Firefox itself subpar in some cases, but I’d like to hear what your issues with the organization are.

      Avoiding FF while supporting Chromium based browsers is just the most nonsensical moronic shit I’ve ever heard in the whole browser debate.

        Whatever. Keep donating to Mozilla and their dying, shitty browser and leave me alone. I didn’t want to start a debate.

            The same Google that keeps Mozilla alive? Mozilla’s shills are so boring and short-minded. Just leave me alone. Nobody asked your opinion.

          Fair enough, are there any non chromium alternatives that are decent ATM? I haven’t looked at alternative browsers for some time.

      Why do you want Google to have hegemony over web standards?

        Are you seriously implying that that 2% of FF market share is what avoids the “hegemony”? lol.

        Mozilla has worked very hard to sabotage FF. I’ve been a loyal FF user since 2002 and finally showed them the finger in 2021, when they confirmed that they don’t respect their community. They are just another corp now. So, why should I use an inferior browser from them?

        I won’t reply further. I didn’t want to start a debate and I’m quite pissed off of Mozilla advocates.
