"Open web" is one of the Orwellian terms used by Google (and their controlled opposition - Mozilla), so it seems you aren't speaking only for yourself, eh?

Well, it's almost the same thing, since Google now controls web standards (and Mozilla).

Turning Firefox into a Chrome copycat* with built-in blocklists and Tor Browser Bundle features certainly didn't make it gain more users. Mozilla should've left Brave occupy that space. Brave, Pale Moon and Vivaldi deserve praise.

If you actually read the release notes, you wouldn't say this.

R.I.P. Opera. Long live Pale Moon, Brave, Vivaldi and WebkitGTK. Chrome, Firefox and Edge could go f--k themselves.

Google controls web standards and Mozilla, so Firefox won't save the web. Mozilla didn't make anything to fight against DRM.

Waterfox doesn't really have a future. However, Pale Moon has redundancy in terms of developers and a maintained XUL platform.

Then we would lose a company that pretends to care about privacy while doing the opposite, thereby allowing actually ethical organizations to grow.

No need for you to be rude either. Many people are on the autism spectrum, so it's not necessarily due to bad faith.
