    How so? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything negative against the company, but I’d love to know if I missed something.

      I can’t find the sources right now but it’s being shit I’ve been reading over the years. It goes from employee complaints against the corp, them not using donation money in the browser, etc.

      I’ve seen an employee complaining about the impossible deadline they put for Firefox for Android, leading for the browser to come out filled with bugs, while also being very underpaid for a tech worker. In another news, the company direction has been getting huge raises for some years already.

      Also, the money you donate isn’t going to the development of the browser. You can notice it as well, since the browser is very subpar when compared to Chromium. Mozilla isn’t making a good job at all and even though I still use Firefox, Mozilla has become a money bank for greedy directors, and I don’t support it at all.

        You’re going to need to cite some sources for these fairly wild claims.

        This is the most egregious lie of the bunch. Firefox is extremely close in terms of features, performance, usability, HTML/JS/CSS support, developer tools, etc. It’s privacy tools are, if anything, significantly better. And once Manifest v2 extensions stop being supported by Chrome (which is coming next year) it’ll have significantly better adblocker support.

          Performance? That’s a big lie, performance-wise Firefox is very bad even compared to Safari. Dev tools I can agree with you, and the other CSS it’s on par with Chromium imo.

            HUGE lie. Firefox is so freaking slow compared to basically anything else.

              And pretty unstable as well. I tried using it vs Chrome and everyday I have to close Firefox due to some memory leaks it gets.

              Mozilla is doing a shit job maintaining it, I prefer giving my donations to Wikipedia

              Edit: also interesting how many downvotes we’re getting. Speaking truths isn’t welcome here.

                Just like anywhere else, it’s know your audience.

                People like to pretend they are hyper privacy/anti-Google focused, but then give over their entire life and capture what they had for dinner on FB and instagram

                  If you have Meta social networks you already threw privacy down the drain. One thing I like about having Apple products is that Google/Meta ads become very dumb …
