Not too complex if you ask me.

I don't know the reason why they use Google analytics, but I think I read there was certain mitigations in place. I personally wouldn't go there.

Google pay the most money for default search. Firefox used to have yahoo as the default search engine and could easily switch to Bing if they pay the most. Going with the most money you can get for funding the development of your browser is just sensible strategy. Firefox aren't in the search market. Who, who cares about privacy doesn't change their default search engine? You have yet to back up your insinuation that the default search money influences anything. I very much doubt you'll produce anything substantial.

Considering Brave is modified Chromium, I cannot take seriously the suggestion that Firefox has more google. If Google pull the updates to chromium, Brave is dead, as they sure ain't investing much time into building a browser. They're more focussed on ads, and from what I've read, affiliate links.

You can question my knowledge base all you want. I have concerns about your motives and conclusions. I am not going to change the decision on this.

I have used Firefox for years, and for no problem. This isn't a general tech advice community. It's a degoogling community.

If you're uncomfortable with us recommending other projects not led by or influence by google, is it really the right place for you?

It's a fork of Chromium, so Google will add it. They'll have to specifically remove it.

Also, if companies are considering implementing WEI, they will look at most of their users on chromium users and say, we most of our users are on Chromium, so the risk is low.

The CEO can say what he wants, but it doesn't affect whether companies will roll this out. Google can not be trusted to drive web standards, and chromium needs to stop being used if we are to make it clear to website owners that they cannot simply support Chrome/Chromium only.

Subscribed. Keep up the good work :).

Beat me to it with F-Zero. What a game.

There wasn't any really in that thread. You brought it up.

I'm sure you'll warn OP, and another OP, and another OP, and another OP, and after getting any response, blame Firefox fanboys for beaing unbearable...

Out of a quick glance (really quick), I found this: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2915403

It seems you're throwing rocks and getting surprised when people generally respond. You cannot complain about fanboyism when you're trying to start fires. If you don't want those conversations, maybe don't start 'em.

I get that when you bash Firefox on reddit, you can start a circlejerk, but you don't get the same response here and it's as much to do with you being used to the biases of reddit.

There is quite a bit of bias on reddit that makes it quite uncomfortable for some of those people. Quite often Linux, Firefox and great open source software is bashed. It can be quite disconcerting to be in a different environment, but it isn't solely because of the views and biases of those on Lemmy. It's also significantly down to the views and biases of those one reddit also.

A lot of open source advocates do tend to be inclined to open source software on an open source link aggregator.

Signed, Open Source entusiast. :)

Oof, I can imagine that sucks. Come join us on !degoogle@lemmy.ml :) Everyone seems quite enthusiastic about finding alternatives. I'm all about the Firefox, GrapheneOS, Proton Mail, Signal, Element etc. :)

I think it seems fair enough. If Unreal are making the tools that are benefitting those industries, it's right that they financially contribute like game devs would.
