Yeah different perspective, i don't see any need in using alternatives to chromium tho, firefox works with google, so this fight with the monopolist is just ridiculous for me.
I would say don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, if you have a problem with Mozilla as an organisation it doesn't negate the valid concerns about the monopoly, it would effectively hand control of web standards over to Google defeating the entire ethos of the open web. The Firefox browser engine is independent even if you don't believe the organisation behind it is, that can be verified because of open source, there's no need to be defeatist yet.
Maybe, but i still doesn't like firefox that much.. Firefox has a bug where my vpn extension can't connect after relaunching the browser, and it's like every vpn i used, they don't fix it
