I don't understand this - what is wrong with Firefox these days? It does everything I need, and very few things I don't want.

Very puzzled why there isn't more love for Firefox, even on HN.

There is a weird standard Mozilla is held to that doesn't exist even for other privacy-minded companies.

There is also a layer of hypocrisy when people beg for Mozilla to generate greater revenue diversity, but then an immediate scoff whenever they try anything unrelated to Firefox -- where there is no money beyond search deals since Mozilla can't go down the Brave crypto route.
