captive wifi portal detector - I don't mind much. I do see location services - good to know, will disable fast enough. something to look at later to see how it works. I don't see any 'Remote Settings' service - perhaps because I have a about:blank home page (or I'm not on a corporate laptop). this is the most worrisome part which I hope never repeats: "In 2017 Mozilla made a deal with Cliqz". I took a look over the rant and it seems blown out of proportion. So, I think that in real terms, the best we can encourage is fixing FF with the changes he states plus plugins, and evangelize that. And of course, it inherits Google's terrible (from a security perspective) app marketplace.Īll the other browsers are missing features to the point of not being contenders. And it encourages Google's eco-system monopoly. Last I tried, it's update mechanism was non existent, which is the opposite of the other's auto-update. Ungoogled-chromium may solve some of these issues, but it adds new ones. Secondly, because Chrome has a near monopoly (at least of mindshare - it is hard to guess real numbers because Chrome happily reports its use to Analytics, and FF does not, which means FF always is under-represented) and contributing to them supports that, and third because there are other tricks they have like hiding URL data (and sometimes not letting users know they are on an AMP page instead of the real one). Firstly because, as stated in the article, Chrome is far worse than all the other alternatives. I suspect that the only result of this article is to cause many users to smugly justify their use of Chrome.
