TIL Firefox has failed, apparently? πŸ€”

The speaker makes a lot of points with no evidence to back them up where he should have some. That's alright if you want a conversation about browsers at the virtual bar table, but clearly not a great video essay. Some of his points

  • An incident in 2017 where Firefox installed a plugin called Mr. Robot without the user's consent
  • Firefox's default privacy settings are bad
  • Donations to Mozilla don't go towards software development
  • The chromium engine has better performance
  • Use Brave (repeated about 100 times)

Donations to Mozilla don't go towards software development

Donations are to the Mozilla Foundation.

Firefox is developed by Mozilla Cerporation, which is its subsidiary.

A corporation cannot receive tax-free donations from the public.
