Should I look for an alternative to firefox in Fedora? - eviltoast

I’ve been seeing a lot of information lately about mozilla, and a lot of questionable claims being made about their “direction.” The bulk of their revenue comes from google, and I have been working very hard to de-google everything I can. I have moved away from drive, gmail, search, etc.

I am using Fedora on all my computers, and am logged into firefox on each of them so I have complete sync with all my devices. Are the posts I am seeing blown out of proportion, or should I be looking for another browser?

Thanks in advance!

    I guess that is the point, you are saying you don’t understand why it should be a problem, but other people do think it is a problem, thus there is a problem. You thinking it shouldn’t be a problem does not negate the problem. Problem.

      All I’m saying is I’d like the reasoning behind people considering it a problem. Polictical opinions are fine but they should never come in the way of technical innovation (except that governments adhere to breaking this rule more often than not, but that’s for another time)

        The reason is that it is an opinion that incites hatred. In theory these things should not get in the way of innovation but in practice that is not how it works, people are people and we have feelings about things.
