Yeah screw these guys, I'm going back to chrome!
But really, relax guys. Ads are the only way to run a profitable browser business. Change my mind. Any paid solution won't get the scale to make the numbers work.
LibreWolf works perfectly fine, it’s a great Firefox fork putting privacy first.
Why do you think a web browser needs to make money?
Cause food costs money and people need food and software needs people. I don't make the rules, just play by them.
Web standards have been made so needlessly complex that a paid team of full time professionals has become an unspoken requirement to build a functionally complete web browser. I believe that the entities who guide web standards knew this, and had done so deliberately to push out competition from collaborative volunteer projects that were once long ago possible.
