What's with all the hatred that Firefox has been getting lately? (lemmygrad.ml)

Look at this chud video here.

It's just complaining about DEI, but why now? Apparently, Firefox has a "license" to all your data now. How much is that true? Is he just cherry-picking here, in this case? Librewolf or whatever it's called might be a better option. There's also Zen browser.

I got this in my YouTube feed and didn't know it was more anti-DEI slop and now I'm not sure what to believe. Wish they didn't have to make it so political like they accuse others of doing. Ah well. But what is this I hear about Firefox having a "license" to all your data?

I guess that's like a lot of browsers, tbh, but I suppose Firefox has higher standards, or did...

I'm not sure if we have applicable or adequate proof that they're "controlled" opposition, well, at all, at least at this juncture. I mean, I believe in conspiracies, but I ain't "conspiracist." I believe in conspiracies, not "conspiracism." I don't believe the world hinges on them. I believe in the bourgeois ruling-class, not the "deep state." I believe that corporations are capable of conspiratorial action, but not willy-nilly. A lot of what they do is out in the open, just coated with a glossy veneer.

You make other valid points, though, and it does seem that if Firefox alienates core users, they will just be more "inspired" to cozy up to certain actors that are bad-faith. Even so, I'd like to have more hardcore proof beyond just circumstantial stuff. What are they thinking and planning? The Terms of Use may point to a direction that they'll take, but only may.

Still, better to be safe than sorry, and so I will consider switching to a Firefox fork instead.

I use Firefox cuz it lets me enable unmuted autoplay (something that should be default on most browsers)

For real! I wish that was the case, but it isn't, and I hate it.
