Not that I think you’re wrong, but why?

I can’t disagree with you. I feel like that’s the way of the world anymore regardless of platform.

Firefox is Mozilla’s cash cow, it’s how they’re earning funds for their charitable work. And google btw isn’t the only one paying them, which search engine is the default depends on where you are.

Thank you that’s wonderful news! I don’t have the time to keep up on browser news like that so I truly appreciate the information.

I will be honest. I didn’t read that article because it’s too click-baity. Using https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/ I see that Firefox is about 3% of 5b users. Not insignificant.

That 3% is about 150mil users. IMO, less than it should be. Google has great security, but terrible privacy. I switched middle of last year, from brave to FF for reasons I won’t get into here. Suffice it to say, they are numerous.

It truly is troubling that they don’t have independent funding. I, for one would pay $10/y for this service. Maybe I could donate?

Anyway, it’s a superior product in many ways.

I knew I wouldn’t have to scroll down too far to find this comment. Thank you.
