      It’s a private alternative.

      I never said Mozilla was supreme dictator of the web and could force everyone to follow suit.

      “Bad things still exist so Mozilla shouldn’t develop good things” is not a rational take.

        The problem is that it isn’t an alternative, it is an additional and it does not benefit users in any way.

          It is an alternative, and if it became more common in the industry it would be one of the best things to happen for user privacy in decades.
