Is Firefox Okay? (www.wired.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

“Chrome has won the desktop browser war,” says one former Firefox staff member, who worked on browser development at Mozilla but does not want to be named, as they still work in the industry. Their hopes for a Firefox revival are not high.

Firefox is failing to innovate. All they do is copy Chrome in hopes of becoming successful again. Firefox keeps deprecating settings and they're getting rid of the extensions, in favor of Chrome's shitty web extensions. All in the name of safety and usability, but what good is a "safe" or "usable" browser if nobody's using it? Firefox was once the techie's browser until it took over the world. Then came Chrome. Now they've turned their back on power users, but it was their only userbase still left.

They also consistently lie about privacy, but are just as bad, if not worse, than Chrome. In the name of "Safe browsing", Firefox also sends every request you make to Google, just like Chrome. Then there are the various intrusive "experiments" that you get if you don't opt out.

I wanna like Mozilla. I wanna like Firefox. They're just making it way too difficult for me to do so.
