Firefox might be an okay browser, but that would imply supporting Mozilla.

I've been meaning to switch to Vivaldi. Just as soon as the onboarding dialog stops crashing.

I wonder how bad does Mozilla have to be that you have to continue using Chrome without ublock?

Worse than it is now, I suppose.

I'm curious: What's your reasons for not wanting to support Mozilla?

I disagree with their politics, I'm concerned by the multiple privacy incidents, and I generally refuse to support them until they refocus on Firefox instead of all the other stuff they're doing.

If they worked only on Firefox, I'd have nothing against them. As it stands, I can't even donate to Firefox if I want to.
