    Software like Firefox is designed in a modular way for humans to be able to reason about its correctness. It is complex, but not arbitrarily complex.

    So take out the free VPN and Pocket and it'll be less complex! ¯\(ツ)/¯

    They killed Pocket (they didn't just remove it from FF) some time ago.

    We got the worst of both worlds. The Pocket functionality got Ship of Theseus'd: The original functionality is all gone, and what remained became a Mozilla-run ad/news network. They removed the Pocket label last.

    "Complex but not arbitrarily complex"? I need more coffee this morning already because I'm burning through my patience for idiotic things at an accelerated rate.

    This is an arbitrary sentence, not structured to communicate any information.

    See how I had to have that final comma clause so you could understand what the fuck I was even saying?

    Yeah, let's all use a fork that doesn't patch those AI slop vulnerabilities.

    ... You do realize that security patches are upstreamed, correct? These forks just don't include the ads, AI, or built-in VPN.
