Yeah, by using a better browser... Mozilla is kinda incompetent these days and shouldn't be trusted with stewardship. All they do is posture and market. All the real engineering seemingly stopped a long time ago.

Arguably Google can't either but at least they provide the engineering talent, if not the ethical leadership. Mozilla just offers spam.

In what areas do you think Chrome demonstrates engineering talent where Firefox is lacking?

Sorry but that's not good enough for a browser whose main selling point is "privacy". You don't get to play the good guy underdog and pull any shit.
