@jaller94 switch to Chromium to avoid the bug altogether 😁😁😁

@catgirl Thanks, but I'm very happy to have a browser where its main developer team stands in for the free and open web.While Chromium is certainly a great project, it feels bad that the advertiser Google is in charge of the project's direction.And features like #Firefox Containers for using multiple logins on one URL are core elements of my development environment.

@jaller94 @catgirl > its main developer team stands in for the free and open web.Clearly, you haven't been keeping up-to-date on Mozilla's recent events. They're tricking you into thinking Firefox is private, when it's not. False sense of security and privacy is worse than realising you have none.

They're tricking you into thinking Firefox is private, when it's not. False sense of security and privacy is worse than realising you have none.> While Chromium is certainly a great project, it feels bad that the advertiser Google is in charge of the project's direction.Chromium is open source, just as Firefox is, and has been scrutinised much more than Firefox has, due to being used as the base for most other browsers in existence, today. Google is also the company which has made Chromium security hardened (which has privacy hardening implications) by implementing a full, strong sandbox, Control-flow Integrity, and proper site isolation etc. Firefox has a weak sandbox, no CFI, and can easily be exploited.> And features like #Firefox Containers for using multiple logins on one URL are core elements of my development environment.Both Chromium and Firefox implement a proper profile sandboxing and isolation feature. Containers are not a full profile isolation feature; Chromium allow separate profiles which behave as different browser processes, and Firefox does the same with about:profiles.It's time to stop using emotion (blue pill), and start using fact and logic (red pill). Google being a part of the project doesn't mean anything, but Mozilla lying and keeping secrets from its users does. Stop being a Firefox fanboy and do proper research. If you want maximum privacy, Tor Browser is the only option. If you want security and reasonable privacy, use Chromium. Firefox is good at neither security or privacy.

@inference @catgirl @jaller94 If you really wanted a firefox fork that actually cared about privacy, security, and the open web, librewolf exists.

@xynon @catgirl @jaller94 LibreWolf has no better security than Firefox.Even Tor Browser has weak security, thanks to being based on Firefox; however, it does add a lot of privacy.

@inference @catgirl @jaller94 Librewolf is pretty much just insurance from your default config being a complete turd and from Mozilla screwing you over in the future

@xynon @catgirl @jaller94 LibreWolf is an anti-Mozilla Firefox fork. It doesn't do much for security or privacy, but it gives Firefox a chance to be saved from Mozilla under a different name and leadership.

@inference @catgirl @jaller94 Honestly at this point forks like Librewolf just act to keep firefox from sinking even deeper into the groundEventually firefox and co will probably just disappear

@xynon @catgirl @jaller94 I already stated at one point that Firefox has no reason to exist, because Chromium beats it at security and Tor Browser beats it at privacy. I also said I think Firefox will be irrelevant by the end of 2023 and forgotten about by 2025.
