        I don’t understand Firefox diehards. Nobody is telling you not to use it, but you can’t seem to deal with any critique of the company that owns it.

        They are far from perfect and made many terrible decisions like buying ad company, failing to open source Pocket as they promised, abandoning any real development of the browser, not supporing new standards that counter Chromium dominance, paying millions in salaries to their CEO and managment.

        You hate and criticize all of the same actions when it’s another company, but then turn around and defend Mozilla when they do it.

        I too use Gecko based browsers (!floorp@lemmy.zip and !iceraven@lemmy.ml), since they are less bad than Chromium, but being less shit doesn’t make it great…

          Was… that directed at me and my post?

          I am actually aware Mozilla is doing the same, which is why I added the Fennec/Ironfox disclaimer. I’ve not gone away from Firefox on desktop yet since I admit I like using Sync and Librewolf when I last tested it wasn’t allowing that. I’ve since seen that they added a manual switch for it and am planning to switch over to Librewolf as well.

          Sorry, I didn’t make that clear enough. But maybe that wasn’t directed me, there’s just no other reply though that your comment could fit for. Nothing of what I posted is defending Mozilla for any of their actions.

            Wasn’t directed at you, but people that just downvote since they have nothing to counter the point. Hence the reply is to my own comment.

    I don’t get this shitty trend, add your ai for free into shit no-one wants, but also charge money for your ai in other places?
