It’s a very usable browser and vivaldi explicitly do no AI, unlike firefox. I get that firefox is the only serious cross platform competitor to chromium, but mozilla really does consistently shoot itself in the foot. it’s like it’s masochistic.
Firefox has been slowly ramping up AI integration and data collection/telemetry. Fortunately theres many forks that rip all that out. Librewolf and ironfox are good examples.
The truth is Mozilla is not profitable as a company and FF would have died a long time ago if Google didn’t pay up to keep them alive to help avoid monopoly busting suits. In a worse timeline we don’t even have modern FF to fork from or ublock in 2025.

How did moz shoot themselves in the foot? I am genuinely asking as I missed any controversy.
