No. Not even close.

I reject the "other"-ness in this comment. _I_ was a Mozillian. _I_ was helping do those things. The notion that I should heap accolades upon a bunch of folks who are only now affiliated Mozilla and who were not contributing during the era in which Mozilla was doing the great things actually deserving of the goodwill associated with its name? And who have themselves been positively poor torchbearers for that name? Condescending.

2023 is Mozilla's 25th birthday. It did amazing things for about 15 of them—by which I mean the people who made up the project. "Mozilla" is merely a legal fiction.

So? Is using Chrome better? What is your recommendation?

Please don't change the subject like this. It's annoying.

There's no reason your question couldn't have been posted in a relevant (sub)thread, instead of here, where it's (a) not on topic for the current subject, but (b) looks like it could be, and therefore (c) has the same effect as moving the goalposts.

They did shift the goalposts, but I do wonder what browser you'd recommend (and I won't make a bad faith assumption that its chrome like they did). Brave?

The browser with a built-in crypto wallet? No thanks.

I stick to Safari and Firefox. They're not perfect but they're the only modern browsers that don't use Blink, which is what gives Google the power to make moves like this.

I run firefox with ublock origin, some tampermonkey scripts, and decentraleyes.

So many people recommend it, but I've been iffy on using brave. Thanks for giving me a little insight on your choices and reasoning behind it.
