If you're using Chrome, there's no better time to give Firefox a go. It's really come a long way in the past year, and Google has been getting ever more sketchier.

@yogthos Indeed, everyone should throw in the garbage, but an equitable decision would have been or . nanny their users and doing a lot of things in the background in order to make money.

@Levenfort
Genuinely curious to know if we're sure the other browsers you mentioned aren't doing similar and are actually better. I hadn't heard about this before.

@kosh Right, trust is a fragile construct, but there are more questionable behavior reports of Firefox than Opera or Vivaldi where both use Chromium as basic.

@Levenfort
Could that be due to much lower usage of those browsers?

@Levenfort FF has the most momentum behind it, and it's open source which is pretty much a prerequisitve in my mind.

I agree that Mozilla has been doing somewhat questionable things like Pocket integration trying to monetize, but I still think it's the best alternative long term.

Ultimately, people can fork the project if Mozilla stops being trustworthy which wouldn't be possible with closed source alternatives.
