Same. I wonder what the web would look like now if not for Mozilla fighting for open web standards.

I guess I don't really have to wonder. I could just factory reset any Pixel phone, swipe to the news feed, and click on any story. It's literally hard to find the content (drivel) between the advertisements and screen hijacking bullshit.

yeah, multiple times i have asked people "why isnt brave a fork of firefox" and they say "its pita" and you need quick and easy way to customize, blah blah blah.

then you have half a dozen firefox forks running absolutely fine, each one has its good and bad but the thing is, if these 1-2 man outfits can fork and release their own firefox forks with additional features/customizations, why cant brave? or do they don't want to do the actual leg work and only want to take praise for "doing best", eh

They detail the reasons for moving to Chromium https://brave.com/development-plans-for-upcoming-release/ . I was also disappointed at first, but the benefits seem to be worth it, such as use of Chrome extensions.

sorry for not responding earlier..... my initial question still remains.

there is a "The benefits of moving from Muon to Chromium" so if you replace the word chromium with firefox, do you think any line would be wrong or a lie?

extensions are available in firefox just as easily so that sounds like a lame excuse.
