Why would anyone, at this point, use Firefox over Chrome?

Diehards like me are absolutely disgusted with the AI BS Mozilla is pushing down everyone's throats, to just mention one thing. We will find a fork, or eventually hopefully a new independent browser.

Anybody else doesn't give a fsck so why would they use a cheap Chrome knock-off Mozilla made Firefox into, if they can get the real deal for free?

Well done Mozilla. You outplayed yourself.

Mozilla is the browser vendor equivalent of centrist political parties.

> We can do whatever the fsck we want because who you gonna vote for, the actual far-right?

> Also, we need to try to out-far-right the far-right because that's where the voters are!

And then there's the inevitable surprised pikachu face when people just don't choose them.

Either because they vote for the actual far-right, not the cheap centrist knock-off; or because they refuse to make a choice between shit and crap.

If you're wondering what brought this fire and brimstone angrythread about, it's these two separate but related things:

If you're wondering what the alternatives are, it's kinda grim, but my personal way forward will be:

- @librewolf for the short-to-mid term

- @servo once it matures enough to be usable (really rooting for this one!)
