Hard to reconcile how Mozilla must layoff 25% of their employees then a couple days later sign a 3-year $400M+ per year deal with Google. :confused2:

I've used Firefox for years, and have been happy with it, including Thunderbird email.

Found out about a "newer" browser called Brave. It doesn't capture all of your info, emails, surfing, blood type, etc. Eliminates virtually all ads if you turn on the "shields" add-on included in the program.

And...it's amazingly FAST. I use Windows 7 on an older PC and it's twice as fast as FF. Also comes with VPN if you want to use it. Check it out.

Also, change your search engine from Google to Duck Duck Go. It doesn't capture any info on you when you search and click on a link. And it doesn't "steer you" to their politically aligned websites.

You got that right man. I avoid Google search like the plague. My default is DuckDuckGo. :duck:

Brave has been around for about 5 years. It will likely be my choice if Firefox becomes history. Ironically, Brendan Eich (former CEO of Mozilla) founded Brave Software.

I became less and less impressed with Firefox, as "they" became more and more like everyone else.

Yeah, "everybody else" = Chrome.

Firefox has such a HUGE add on base, that I don't see anyone else competing!!..

^^^ That's going away also. The new versions won't accept the old 'addons'. There are some new 'extensions' but they're not the same. Why? Because G demanded it. G created Chromium which is the browser base that FF, Opera, Vivaldi and Brave all use.


You think you're using something else, but they're all G's Chromium with different paint and window curtains.
