So, I’m staying with #Firefox, even though their CEO is tone-deaf and clumsy and destroying #Mozilla’s reputation because today I had to remove 6 extensions in #Vivaldi (my sometimes alternate browser), several of which were security-related, because of Google’s changes. I miss them. I want them back.
Bottom line. I definitely feel more secure using Firefox than a Chrome-based browser, and I won’t let my disappointment with Mozilla kill off the only alternative to Google. I will continue using Firefox.
As far as using a fork of Firefox, if Firefox doesn’t live on, neither will these forks.
In every post I’ve seen of the change in Firefox TOU there’s been people asking for alternatives and proposing chromium based browsers as alternatives (even chrome). I just can’t grasp how anyone escaping Firefox because of these changes would willingly go to any based in chromium… But so many are just doing that. It seems many people using Firefox are just following recommendations and this whole issue with Firefox might hurt a lot more than any one thinks having a free web.
