I still use Firefox primarily, and Brave on my phone, but I don't like the way things are headed. I don't know if "pushing" will change much. Firefox probably needs to be better on data security and adblocking in a way which Google is unwilling to match?

This sounds untenable considering Mozilla's main revenue source is Google itself.

Mozilla is also to blame for this. They seem to have turned into a corrupt company, promoting censorship [1], laying off development staff [2] while the CEO receiving millions in salary [3].

Why does the board continue to reward Baker after all these years of plummeting value to the company? That is a question I haven't been able to square.

It is called “packing the board”.

What is usually done by many elites is now being tried by one against Twitter board of directors.

Brave is Chromium.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
