    I think we should stop sending people to alternative “Firefox based” browser that will likely break compatibility even more than it is broken on Firefox. It will only frustrate the user and send him back to random chromium based alternative like brave. Firefox default privacy settings are more than enough for the regular user.

      I didn’t say it’s good for most people, I just prefer it and think other privacy oriented people should as well

        I understand. I am sure that most, if not all people who care about privacy already use Firefox. We need to help regular users to hope into Firefox. These people tend to know almost nothing about computers and a site that doesn’t work is Firefox not working.

          Yeah but Firefox uses non private defaults like Google as the default search engine

            We need to rid chrome of its monopoly first. Google is a privacy nightmare but it’s only because of chrome hegemony over the browser ecosystem that they are able to forcibly DRM the web and castrate adblockers.
