Why would trust in Firefox be gone? I guess a smear campaign is underway.

It’s better than it ever was, imho.

I do take extra precautions, and use a separate instance for online banking and trading.

I also have it sandboxed at the OS level, giving extra confidence and ensuring limited access to my home directory. I do the same with many apps (including chrome, when I must use it)

Lol, no.

If you trust Google more… that seems insane on its face to me but…
