It’s a very usable browser and vivaldi explicitly do no AI, unlike firefox. I get that firefox is the only serious cross platform competitor to chromium, but mozilla really does consistently shoot itself in the foot. it’s like they’re masochistic.
edit: vivaldi also actually seems to have a vision and design goals, which firefox sort of lacks.
Firefox has been slowly ramping up AI integration and data collection/telemetry. Fortunately theres many forks that rip all that out. Librewolf and ironfox are good examples.
The truth is Mozilla is not profitable as a company and FF would have died a long time ago if Google didn’t pay up to keep them alive to help avoid monopoly busting suits. In a worse timeline we don’t even have modern FF to fork from or ublock in 2025.

How did moz shoot themselves in the foot? I am genuinely asking as I missed any controversy.
