> But what good is it if it won't deviate from Google's vision of the web? It will go toe-to-toe with Chrome at being Chrome, and almost nothing more.

By all means, criticize Mozilla. I'm not even saying people should use Firefox. Like I said, I don't want Firefox to become dominant. People just shouldn't use criticisms of Mozilla as justification for using a browser developed by a demonstrably worse organization.

I've seen a few people respond with examples of poor experiences they've had with Firefox. I haven't shared those experiences, but if people have found that Chrome/Chromium is a significantly better product than Firefox that's at least a valid reason to consider sticking with Google's browser.

If people are comfortable using a completely different browser like Pale Moon with no ties to Firefox or Chromium, that's even better.
