Ah yes let's ignore everyone that challenges our own opinions because that's the best way to never be wrong and always feel safe.

I actually sincerely went into the article hoping for logical technical explanations. But I can't justify listening to someone who starts off with "I'm right you're wrong". It's childish.

The fact is that all browser companies have their problems. I'm interested only in the technical aspects. For example, why is there a whole spec sheet of config settings to make Firefox private against Mozilla? Why does Mozilla continue to install spyware alongside Windows installations (default browser task) ? Why do I have to remove feature plugins, with each major update that assist Mozilla with telemetry and adware, despite Mozilla claiming to have removed those long ago? Why do I have to turn off Normandy? Why should Normandy exist in a so called private browser?

This is what I'm looking for... Not "I'm right you're wrong".
