It’s been a long time coming, but the trust in Firefox and its mother organization, Mozilla, seems to be mostly gone, after a recent commit on the source code removed the “we don’t sell your data” promise, along with a change of Privacy notice and Terms of Use.

    Overblown. And most of the posted alternatives either depend on the Firefox project being alive and well, or they are based on Chromium.

      This is the problem for me and why I just stick with Firefox. There’s only really two options and a bunch of sight alterations and reskins of those options. Three options if you use Apple I guess. And a few WiP Linux browsers based on webkit (I think) that haven’t actually progressed all that much in a decade, last I checked.

      So when the only two options are Google or Mozilla, I’ve just stuck with Mozilla. I actually am considering moving over to one of the forks now though. Even if it’s just to send them a message.
