Mozilla should be scrutinized, even if Firefox is currently the best option.

I think the only thing keeping them inline is loud community backlash everytime they make one of those misssteps.

    People dont seem to be scrutinizing though. Its genuinely unhinged and often completely misinformed. They will jump on a single line of a legal text and use it to springboard into a world of scenarios even when Mozilla is saying its not true.

    It doesnt help improve the product it just makes people think all products are bad and fallback to whatever the comfortable majority is which is chrome.

    Sorry man, but the minute Firefox added that keylogger, I dipped.

    Firefox rendering engine is dogshit and they are massively behind.

    This coming from someone that was using Netscape and Mozilla and Firefox since its release.

    Firefox doesn't include a keylogger. It does have the infamous privacy preserving attribution but this can easily be disabled in settings.

    In contrast, Chrome is literally a tool for Google to gain as much personal information as possible for Googles advertisement platform. It has the worst privacy features of the three major browsers and cannot be fully made private due to crippled extension support.

    Firefox engine has some catching up to do, but the Safari rendering engine is behind Firefox on features.
