    Crypto on Brave is disable by default. The FTP support was just an example. The last straw for me was the idiotic UI “refreshement”. I’m not touching that thing. And yes, I know UI on FF can be tuned using CSS, but I’ve no time, nor the will to fix Mozilla’s fuckups. It’s not like there’s a shortage of browsers out there.

    YSK that donations to Mozilla don’t go to FF developement (which is done by Mozilla Corp.), but are used by Mozilla Foundation for… other things:

    https://donate.mozilla.org/en-US/faq/

    How will my donation be used? At Mozilla, our mission is to keep the Internet healthy, open, and accessible for all. To learn how your donation is put to use, click here.

    You can find more details about Mozilla’s expenditures and governance here.

    Don’t Mozilla products, like Firefox, earn income? Firefox is maintained by the Mozilla Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation. While Firefox does produce revenue — chiefly through search partnerships — this earned income is largely reinvested back into the Corporation. The Mozilla Foundation’s education and advocacy efforts, which span several continents and reach millions of people, are supported by philanthropic donations.

    It is funny to me how the first link doesn’t actually tell you how you money is used, but just points to Mozilla Foundation home page.

    In short, if you donate expecting that your money helps Firefox, you’re doing it wrong.

    Oh, look, THAT meme. Again. For the100th time.

    Folks, I don’t care what under the hood. Brave serves me much better than Firefox did. And, frankly speaking, “not being chromium” isn’t enough anymore. Mozilla has ruined Firefox for me when they started removing features (e.g., FTP support) and dumbing its UI/UX. So, goodbye FF, it’s been a long ride, but I’m on Brave right now.



  • Plase, tell me more on how someone like me, that has been using Firefox for almos 20 years and then switched to a Chromium browsers because of all Mozilla’s fuckups is doing something wrong. And yes, I’m technically very well versed. I just don’t want to spend my time fixing Mozilla’s bullshit and I unilaterally decided that they don’t deserve me as a user.

    Just use whatever you like. If Firefox is good for you, fine. Enjoy it, until it lasts, as Mozilla seems to be hell-bent on destryoing it.
