I downloaded it from Aurora Store. I know I can download it from Github through Obtainium but I always run into problems if I use that method. Is FFF private like DDG?

    Yes

    Everyone suggesting forks like lbrewolf or whatever are missing the mkst important point… all these forks are downstream… so if you kill firefox, you kill all the downstream forks (unless someone willing to do the heavy lifting and work full time on one of the forks)

      I’d rather Mozilla ask for donations than to give me ads and bloatware. I’d be more than happy to donate periodically. If they don’t correct the current course, I’m not sure for how much longer they’ll keep loyal users like me. I’m sick of having to turn a bunch of things off every time, and of having to be vigilant about the new crap they keep introducing.

      I’ve also seen it said by people who know more about this kind of thing than i do that because they’re relatively rare forks like librewolf actually make identifying individual users easier than if you were using vanilla Firefox

      Most of these mental backflips are not worth noting. I will remind you that despite giving Mozilla plenty of walking-around data, they took Pocket away anyways, which was the simplest way to share articles to a Kobo and likely other ereaders. I will have my revenge, Mozilla

      It is much more than this. Browsers are massive projects that require a full team of developers working full time to patch out security vulnerabilities. Let alone work on new features.
