    Mozilla Firefox isn’t much better. They have similar links to shady people, often the same shady people… That includes two friends of Jeffrey Epstein.

    And Mozilla still engages in discrimination today.

    From the linked document, describing an unneeded round of layoffs:

    People from groups underrepresented in technology, like female leaders and persons of color, were disproportionately impacted by the [Mozilla’s] layoff.

      So which browser would you recommend? It looks like Firefox is the only one not based on Chromium

        Firefox has some very good forks including Waterfox (pretty normal) and LibreWolf (pretty privacy-hardened out of the box and may require a little Settings menu tweaking to make normal).

        It’s unfortunate, but at the end of the day you kind of have to bite the bullet and accept that you will be using something downstream of something bad, e.g. Google (Chrome forks) or their money (Firefox is funded not by donations but by them).

          Chrome forks aren’t just tainted by Google’s money; they’re tainted by Google’s power. Prefer a Firefox-derived browser if you care about web standards.
