      PS: Depressing how many of you seem to consider such a drastic violation of privacy acceptable.

      It’s more that I had hoped we left everyone who acts like any little thing Firefox does is the worst and most egregious privacy violation in the world back in r/Firefox where they let all the Brave astroturfing take over.

      Sure, you’ve got one significant issue (that was already mitigated and addressed), but you’re ignoring how unique it was while also saying there is “many, many more” without any hint of what they would be. Is “The Megabar exists” one of them?

        Yeah, after a year. Sorry, but I don’t take lightly to companies that are stealing screenshot of my browser and than act like it’s no big deal.

        without any hint of what they would be.

        Have you not been paying attention over the last few years? Mozilla’s numerous missteps ain’t exactly a secret. Here is a little list:

          That site isn’t a list of egregious privacy violations, it’s some random guys inane and hyperfocused ranting.

      A lot of people lost trust in them after they sneakily installed an extension on users’ browsers to promote Mr Robot.

        Brave. It ain’t perfect, but I actually like that it comes with Adblock, IPFS and Tor support out of the box. Gives you a fully functioning browser out of the box without having to mess with tons of plugins.

        If you want something more minimalist, Librewolf might be worth a look.
