don't even start arguing about the Web advertising stuff that Mozilla pulled recently, yes it sucks but it's way less bad than what Google is doing with Chrome. If you want to use a random fork of Firefox over it I don't care and that won't stop me from telling "regular people" to just use Firefox, non-computer touchers shouldn't daily drive a random fork of a web browser imo okbyeeee
yes, the one with all the cats

in reply to @eramdam's post:
mozilla might be shit but at least we have easily-accessible reader view!!
It's good to get news on this development.
I don't know if this is helpful to read for folk making a big switch, but this was my experience.
I made a browser switch earlier last year and while it takes some time to break muscle memory it's been very much for the better. Lots of sympathies for folks going through that betterment process.
It's really a transition from 100% the old sludge you are used to,
to 50%,
to 1%, as the weeks go by.
But remember you don't gotta drink and swim in the sludge of the internet.
What helped me was to take a look around when browsing was the most toxic and go, why am I doing this to myself.
Eventually you do that enough times and it's a oh right, I forgot to switch browsers
-> Alright lets use a different one, lets customize something better.
-> old sludge only exists when the news articles of the rising toxicity comes up.
You can def get to some peace and control in that aspect of your life at least.
