Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don’t give in to criminals or bullies

    That’s a good initiative from google to put more tracktion behind firefox again. Its userbase and amount of supporters will skyrocket!

      It really won’t, but I wish it would.

        You’re right that it won’t. I will say that I switched from Firefox to chrome when it was still in beta (nobody I talk to ever remembers the “goats teleported” metric). Chrome was way faster. It didn’t handle memory well, but it was the best for me for a long time. The extensions were great.

        I just downloaded Firefox on all my devices and I’ve been happy so far. Not as fast as chrome or edge, but gets me closer to leaving google.

          I’ve been using Firefox since before they released their “Quantum” update, thankfully, and it’s been quite good for me since then. Still though, we’re going to need way more people switching to make a dent in Chromium - if it’s even possible at this point.
