you're lying to yourself if you think mozzarella foxfire does'nt collect data. They may use it in a different way, but they still collect data. You have to jump through a bunch of config to disable their telemetry, which most users won't do.

I recommend Chromium Ungoogled if you can't let go of the Chromium ecosystem for some reason. It's an open source fork of Chromium and puts pretty much all the power in the users' hands, so much so that to get certain features to even work you have to configure it. It is also fully compatible with the Chrome app store, if you want it to be.

Al my passwords are in google. I just don't have the energy to migrate, frankly. Chrome does what I want, and the password manager is seamless enough that anything else is less-robust and more work.

Alright. Then please tell me a way to circumvent site compatibility enforcement and I will gladly ditch any chrome-related browsers (that most sites are enforcing to use it nowadays) for the beloved fox on fire.
-EDIT And what do you have to say about this? https://youtu.be/_JNg4Ox2Hvc?t=512 .Its a very recent video and has some interesting takes about firefox.

You getting fked here or there. So don't think it matters that much.
On a Windows machine absolutely. On MacOS, why not trust safari? The battery management for Safari is fantastic.

The time for everyone to do that was 10 years ago. It's too late, Chromium won. I'm pretty sure even manifest v3 isn't going to kill it's market share when it finally drops.

I have been using firefox wince forever, never really cared about privacy tbh…i just like it 🤷🏼♂️
What’s the real concern about privacy anyway? I mean google (gmail) and apple (iphone) already know more about me than my family…

The me from 6months back would be onboard with this idea, I don't really recommend firefox anymore.
It's a bloated mess run by a very questionable corp. I had to move to PaleMoon, it's the only acceptable browser for me now.

I would love to and have tried. But I've found too many times that Firefox just doesn't work for some sites. And unfortunately some of those sites are needed for my work.
How is brave compared to firefox in terms of privacy? If they are at least equal brave should be better because chromium-based browsers should have better compatibility on most websites.
