Firefox needs a drastic change: privacy by default.
connect.mozilla.org
What made Firefox successful in the past? It was simply fast, adaptable and user friendly. Then Chrome came and did exactly the same. But now its faster, and has very similar Addons at least. It sucks, but people dont seem to care about privacy? Is that too short? What if they care about privacy, wh...

Its the only thing making is a good choice, while people choose Brave, TorBrowser or Librewolf instead.

Come and join the discussion.

Firefox needs to have some courage. Get rid of all those fake funding by Ad companies. Block Ads and trackers by default. Actually. Dont use damn Google as that contract will run out anyways.

Chrome is the Google browser. Firefox simply offering nothing more (on the outside) than it.

What do you think? Do you use Firefox out of the Box? Or another browser?

    I’m OK with a custom script editing Firefox after install. As long as Google supplies them money they shouldn’t budge at all. Yes, maybe they could be a bit more directed, but the day Google doesn’t want to fund them anymore is the day we’re royally screwed.

    Do what you’re doing FF, just maybe be more determined in your actions.

      Havent you heard that Google will probably not pay Firefox again? Their contract is soon over.

      Once this happens, they have to really offer different arguments, and ootb privacy is not currently one of them.

      I understand that speed etc is important. But it seems Firefox is worse here, as “google caching everything” will always be faster. In Chrome and Edge I think the search engines always load in the background to show results so blazingly fast. Like 5 seconds on FF, 1s on Chrome both Google.

      Its obvious

          Its not clear if it ends, but if, then well. My post.

          All this “I like Firefox because it allows me to use Librewolf” makes no sense here. It needs to be THE browser people donate to, because it actually does what people need.
