    Thanks, I already knew about the “unfuck” fix made by Black. Too late for me, anyway. I have realized that Mozilla doesn’t care about feedbak or users’ opinion (or the users at all…), so I don’t feel like supporting them anymore.

    By the way, the fix is fine. But it is a matter of principle: people shouldn’t have to waste their time unfucking Mozilla’s fuckups and users shouldn’t have to waste their time trying to make a browser usable. So, congrats, Moz Corp, you’ve managed to lose an hardcore user.

    Brave is managed by Brendan Eich who had to leave Mozilla because he is a homophobe.

    Eich was a cofounder of Mozilla. Wasn’t him an homophobe back then? Did someone stopped using FF because Mozilla’s cofounder was an homophobe?

    And, frankly speaking, I couldn’t care less about him or his believing. I need a good browser. Brave is a good browser (better than Firefox, for me). The day I find something better, I’ll migrate. Full stop.

    That and they have been doing some selfserving things with BAT to the point where I wouldn’t trust them even if BAT became something worthwhile or maybe even especially then.

    Again, the whole BAT thing is opt-in and it’s not the point here.

    No, I don’t agree. The loss was net, I mean 50M users migrated, the same users that before installed FF over the default browser. Something happened there.

    Can we blame Mozilla for losing some users? Yeah, maybe a few. But that’s not really the whole picture.

    50M (and counting) was 20% of their user base, not “some users”. There’s nothing wrong in admitting that Mozilla erratic development model has alienated at least some of “us” (by the way, I’ve been a FF user for almost 20 years before leaving). And, personally, I’ll make whatever I can to make more users leave FF. Fuck Mozilla, really. They’re just a cash-grab machine right now.

    Crypto on Brave is disable by default. The FTP support was just an example. The last straw for me was the idiotic UI “refreshement”. I’m not touching that thing. And yes, I know UI on FF can be tuned using CSS, but I’ve no time, nor the will to fix Mozilla’s fuckups. It’s not like there’s a shortage of browsers out there.
