What if we got to easily choose our web browser, and didn’t have to rely on complex operating system settings to change the pre-installed default?

Do you keep the default browser on your Linux distro, or do you change it? If yes, why?

Better if Mozilla stop crying and unfuck their browser, instead of spending money on useless shit and offensive CEO paychecks and blaming eveyone but themselves for their failure.

A troll fishing for downvotes! Finally this place is starting to feel like Reddit 😂

Yawn... Here they come Mozilla's shills. I'm not goig to engage here. Enjoy you dying browser while it last and thank Mozilla for its slow demise.

I feel like the response may be as much to your open hostility as it is to your point.

It's a point I agree with, before you blast me - I remember reading the mozilla should unfck itself article a while back and nodding along while I read it. And while I use Firefox (or a derivative) every day because it's part of my feeble stand against Google's browser engine monopoly, it definitely needs to unfck itself.

This is poorly worded, but I agree with the sentiment. Firefox feels like a skeleton crew with not much backbone to me. Remember when they dropped support for JXL because Chrome dropped support, even though everyone else supports JXL? I feel like Firefox falls behind Chrome in terms of feature parity, and supports features only if Chrome supports the feature. Firefox also ships with Pocket, perhaps for monetary reasons, but who knows.

Vanilla Firefox with default settings is actually horrible ngl
