So, I’m staying with #Firefox, even though their CEO is tone-deaf and clumsy and destroying #Mozilla’s reputation because today I had to remove 6 extensions in #Vivaldi (my sometimes alternate browser), several of which were security-related, because of Google’s changes. I miss them. I want them back.
Bottom line. I definitely feel more secure using Firefox than a Chrome-based browser, and I won’t let my disappointment with Mozilla kill off the only alternative to Google. I will continue using Firefox.
As far as using a fork of Firefox, if Firefox doesn’t live on, neither will these forks.
Nobody follows the actual web standards anyway. Everybody just follows Google because all the web devs can’t be bothered to do anything but Chrome compatibility, and Google can’t be bothered with updating the actual codified standards before pushing out new shit.
This is just straight up bullshit.
Which is even worse, of course. Already it’s basically impossible for Mozilla to keep up with all of Google’s underspecified whims.
google heads whatwg. they are the web standard.
