OK, but it's also a pretend privacy browser that doesn't actually protect or respect your privacy.
The browser as is right now is open source and has way better defaults for privacy than Firefox (currently it seems it is the best browser in this aspect after librewolf. see: https://privacytests.org ).
Do you think AD Block Plus to be non privacy oriented because it shows you non invasive ads? No ads I've seen in the browser ever seen like they're targeted. As for crypto, it's anti privacy as the blockchain tracks everything you do on it.... So yeah any of the crypto stuff they did isn't that bad TBH and it is also OPT in...

"working towards something better is pointless, everything is shit anyway"
Hey, switching to a less shit shitty option, is still an improvement.
If the only way you're willing to accept improvement, is by fixing it all at once or nothing at all, you'll never solve anything.
I am a Firefox user and always suggest using it to people. But still the more people not using Chrome (even if they are still chromium based) the better.
Not what I said. Here is an example I love Pantera, the lead singer should be beat for some of the shit he has said over the years, am I going to stop listening to Pantera? Fuck no
If he’s a piece of shit, then, yeah, maybe you should stop listening to them. That’s totally your decision, and I don’t really care either way, but it’s not like you’re doing some moral good by not refusing to listening to them. Do what feels right for you, and I will do what feels right for me.
I stop watching things with actors I think are pieces of shit. I stop listening to bands with members I think are pieces of shit (Brand New anyone?). So yeah, I’d probably stop listening to Pantera (personally/were I a fan). Again, you do you.
Your take would be acceptable if a perfectly viable alternative like Firefox didn't exist. Since it does, how about you STFU?
I am a Firefox user both mobile and on PC. I'm just tired of people saying don't use this because of the person working on it.
I enjoy Pantera, the lead singer should have the shit beat outa him for this G's he has said but does that mean I am going to stop listening to Pantera? Fuck no
The less people using Chrome (even if they are chromium based browsers) the better
