    I did. But why should I need to? Firefox is the product, if nobody uses Firefox mozilla uses marketshare. Why do we need Librewolf, which really is the only Firefox you should use out of the box? The same with Mull for Android, where damn “Firefox Focus” is their privacy option which is pretty useless.

    If Firefox is so bad you need to use Librewolf, Firefox as a product is useless for many people.

    I now use Firefox again and harden it myself. But I dont expect ANYONE to do that, as its even a bit too inconvenient for me

      because the default Firefox is either more convenient for most normal users or gets them more funding because of corporate sponsors

      privacy and convenience is always a tradeoff so you can’t just make firefox really private like librewolf and expect mass adoption

        I get you. But Firefox is not mass adopted, so you can assume its only the privacy concerned people. If you are about features, Firefox is good. But for the most part, and for people that dont care, Chrome is just as good, but with Webapps, using your phone as a 2FA key, flashing damn GrapheneOS through a browser, faster speed and supposedly a more secure sandbox.

        Firefox relies on Google, but Google has no reason to support it anymore. So this funding will probably vanish soon.
