lots of people don’t like the direction the company is heading
Fair point but are you seriously saying you prefer the direction Google is heading?
whataboutism? two competing companies can be bad
Yes but if you only have two choices, a kick in the nuts (google) or a flick of your ear (firefox) everytime you open your browser, it just makes sense to use the one that causes less pain. I think more people should use Linux too, Microslop have become way too orwellian and obtrusive for my liking.
The question was why more people don’t use Firefox. I answered.
Sure if you have more choices.
But you don’t. You have two choices.
Chrome/chrome based or firefox/Firefox based.
Do you want a bullet to the arm or the leg. You get one choice and your option can’t included neither.
Pick one. That’s how this works.
Yeah but if you need to use a browser are you seriously going to support Google over Mozilla?
no, but we weren’t talking about that. the topic was “why more people don’t use Firefox” I’m replying to you in Librewolf. I still don’t have to like Firefox, nor recommend it to people at this point.
Forks are also fine. But the phrasing often can come across in a way that supports chrome
I don’t really care. :)
Edit: There are other options than just Chrome and Firefox even without the forks. Most people just don’t wanna use them.
Sure and some of those are coo. But if you can’t even get people moving to firefox, good luck with the more obscure ones.
Not trying to make anyone change their web browser, so we all good.
What direction is that? I haven’t been keeping up, I just use the browser.
pro-AI for starters, lots of people aren’t happy with that. (this is related to the AI, but started long before then: ) their insistence on focusing on anything else but the actual browser, Firefox also occasionally changes (privacy related) settings after upgrade (Edit: as reported by users online) or when they installed extensions remotely to people’s browsers as part of some kind of promo (I believe it was Mr. Robot?).
There might be more, but this is what I can think of from the top of my head.
