you’re lying to yourself if you think mozzarella foxfire does’nt collect data. They may use it in a different way, but they still collect data. You have to jump through a bunch of config to disable their telemetry, which most users won’t do.

Chrome is popular because it works. The average person is not going to give up convenience for privacy, even if they claim to care about it. As someone who uses Firefox, I can say that some websites don’t work on Firefox and Firefox is often slower than chromium browsers. While I’m ok with that, others might not be.

If only Firefox weren’t such a crap dev experience compared to Chrome.

Firefox is only a secondary browser to me these days. I’ve grown tired of it’s performance for years because the Mozilla group would rather keep stuffing unnecessary features into the browser and bring about it’s own ecosystem that it may be collecting data from itself that nobody may know about than fixing that god damn memory leak.

Al my passwords are in google. I just don’t have the energy to migrate, frankly. Chrome does what I want, and the password manager is seamless enough that anything else is less-robust and more work.
