Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Let's take advantage of the fact that we are so small! Say hi and tell us how you started using Firefox!

Firefox has just always been the sensible choice for me personally. Having it be open and run by Mozilla (who for all their faults I think are good folks), having an honest focus on user privacy,and the only non-chromium browser, and therefore the only one that won't ransom my RAM, makes the choice just logical. On top of that, on mobile, Firefox can bring over my beloved plug-ins (the wealth of plug-ins is a plus too) for a great browsing experience like with UBlock Origin, and Firefox Focus is a godsend: doing stupid searches or quick tasks that disappear and don't clog my tabs in the real browser!

Kind of ironic because Firefox uses so much more RAM than Chrome for me.
