there is no reason anyone should be using any other browser than Firefox.

Yeah. And everybody should use the same brand of shoes, drive the same model of car, buy at the same store, eat the same food...

God forbids people having different tastes, opinions and needs.

There is one organization left in this arena still devoted to protecting privacy, maintaining open standards, and a fair and open web for all. And it ain’t Google, it ain’t Microsoft, and it ain’t Opera.

Yeah, and it's not Mozilla either.

Which one do you think it is, then? Genuinely curious here. I don't disagree with on most of what you said - I find the simping for Mozilla (and sneering towards chromium) here in Lemmy rather annoying. Mozilla and its browser both have shortcomings as well, and choosing a web browser these days is, as most things in life, choosing the lesser of evils vs. one's own needs.

I simply don't assume that an org/com actually exist which is concerned users' privacy. Mozilla just follows the money, as any other corp.

Protecting my privacy is a task I prefer to delegate to mybrain(.org).
