When Google invents a feature I want, Mozilla writes a position statement on how it's evil and never implements it.

It's hard to get behind engine diversity when Mozilla is trying to take the web in a direction I don't really want.

Meanwhile Brave does the same thing, but with Cryptocurrency.

I wish we had an open source clone of Vivaldi.

What features are you referring to?

FLoC may be one that could be characterized as “evil.” I mainly think about APIs that extend beyond the browser, like USB or Bluetooth, that Firefox won’t do for security reasons.

Those are the features I was thinking of.

FLoC seems to be pretty irrelevant to anyone not directly working on ad infrastructure, so I'm fine with Mozilla ditching that.
