How did we end up in a world where people bash their heads about which chromium based browser sucks the most and seemingly nobody remembers that Firefox even exists?

Firefox and LibreWolf guys

Again, same chromium shit.

People should stop promoting brave. They were caught doing some really weird stuff related to crypto and AI. And it promotes yet another chromium fork.
You want a privacy respecting browser for real? Take a look at librewolf based off Firefox.

Ah yes, let’s choose the crypto browser based on the American spyware platform instead of Firefox

My 85 year old neighbor still uses AOL. I find it hilarious but at the same time, she may be on to something. Ain’t nobody bothering with AOL monitoring these days

When are people going to realize that all internet browsers are “spying” on you, everything you do is recorded.

People in here recommending Firefox like it also doesn’t leak like a sieve holy shit lol.
If you want to use Firefox use a fork like Librewolf. Firefox not only tracks you, but it also sends your browsing data to third party companies. [Here](https://github.com/mozilla/activity-stream/blob/master/docs/v2-system-addon/data_events.md) is Mozillas github file on everything they see you doing. Now largely these can be turned off in telemetry settings but some are hard-coded and will report on you whether the telemetry tracking is off or not. Hell, Firefox even shares information with Googles SafeBrowsing service.
Now here are some of the quotes from Mozillas own privacy policy.
​
> Firefox sends us data such as the position, size and placement of content we suggest, as well as basic data about your interactions with content. This includes the number of times content is displayed or clicked.
​
> When you click on a Sponsored Top Sites tile on New Tab, we share your country, region, county (if you’re in the US), the tile you clicked, and the time you clicked with AdMarketplace (a third-party referral platform) to verify you navigated to the website.
​
> We also share aggregated data about the sponsored content you see and click with our third-party ad platform Kevel so advertisers can see how many people click on their articles.
Obviously it’s not as nasty as Googles closed-source proprietary super tracking but Firefox is *far* from innocent on this.

Ah yes, Brave, another chrome, but with different coat of paint *and crypto. Excellent.*

I hate how what was once considered spyware is just hard baked into every program and application now.

Imagine supporting a browser that has a built in tipping system.
Firefox or bust. Brave is just as shitty as the rest.

I currently use Vivaldi, i’m in love with all of its features and i find it hard to think about switching.
The downside is that i would like to use Firefox or a Firefox based browser at least, but Vivaldi is based on Chromium and they are definitely not going to change since it would take a lot of work…
So i’ll stay on Vivaldi and switch to Firefox as soon as and if the situation becomes unmanageable with Chromium.
I saw people talking about what VPN to use, you know, for “privacy” even though they were Europeans with laws protecting them from their ISP but not necessarily from outside EU VPN providers, and then talking about what adblocker to use with their Opera GX to block youtube ads, when I suggested to use Firefox for all the talked reason I got shown the door with a “everyone’s data is everywhere on the internet anyway”, bruh. Influencers propaganda got them hard.

F**k Brave and their crypto shit. Been a Firefox user since version 0.8, and I ain’t ever looked back.
I don’t know people keep recommending Brave. Brave was caught inserting cryptocurrency affiliate links and other shady things. They insert their own tracking, too. They cannot be trusted at all. Just use Firefox. If you’re really paranoid, use LibreWolf.

Is this some sort of chromium peasant joke I’m too Firefox to understand?

Ah yes, Brave, *another fork of Chromium*.

Man I should really use firefox again.
firefox forever..
FireFox, you use any other just to download it then uninstall.
Firefox is better
If you lot really want privacy have I got the browser for you!… Tor
I like Chromium. But Google has ruined it.
Use Waterfox, for a debloated more customizable Firefox.
Or Librewolf for a debloated privacy-focused Firefox.
.. Still prefer the simplicity of Chrome, but they kept doing shit against my interests, and it’s really gotten bad now and getting worse.
Think you mean firefox.com
