The problem isn’t that you don’t know Google is bad. The problem is that you think Mozilla is good.
@aral Mozilla's been running on the fumes of what it was in the 00s, combined with a whole lot of what-else-have-we-got.
@aral im old. I remember when they were great
@aral I'll never forget Mr. Robot
What did mozilla do? Not asking for you to explain it to me, but do you know an article off hand that covers it? I may have to start looking into alternative browsers...
You will have gathered their most recent shitty activity @fallofman, but here is an article (from one of the first employees of what became #MozillaCorporation) giving a good take, and also linking to a bunch of history of how they've been #UserHostile for some time now.

@fallofman @aral there are no real world alternative browsers. Either Google, Mozilla or Safari.
@aral is there a better alternative?
@kevin_vermassen @aral
Yes please. It does get pretty tiresome to just hear "don't use X cause they suck now!" repeatedly without ever seeing any suggestions on what to use instead. Seriously, WTAF should I be using? Is there anything good out there, or is literally everything terrible now?
@GuerillaOntologist @aral Firefox (or Mozilla) might nog be perfect, but it’s still my default because it’s better (open source, more privacy minded, …) than the alternatives: Chrome, Edge, Safari, … @Vivaldi is also doing a lot right, do that’s my second browser.
@kevin_vermassen @aral librewolf, floorp, mull for android
@dzinkasprzaajvar @aral Thanks for the suggestions! I didn't know Floorp browser, I'll check it out 
On Linux/Windows I use FF + uBlock Origin & Privacy badger to get rid if most annoyances.
@aral Both are the same level of evil at this point. And can't be trusted anymore.
