Why should anyone care about Firefox when not even their parent company cares about it? Mozilla exists solely at the whims of Google anyway. The fight is long over, people on here just haven't accepted it yet.
Fair question. I think in the long run it does. Chromium development is supported by Google and could be closed any time, leaving Chromium based browsers unable to pick up the slack. Without viable alternatives to Chromium people would return to Chrome.
Yes, let's ignore all of the contributions from the vast and varied team of smart people that also contribute to a product that is no longer directly tied to "bro".
I have hundreds to thousands of tabs at any given time. If Firefox has issues with those, then one of my plugins must be fixing it well enough for me not to notice.
Please don’t use Chromium based browsers. Support real alternatives like Firefox.

Fuck that.
Everybody just gives up at the slightest inconvenience and uses Chrome.
It's not even that much work to just use Firefox.
Keep up the good fight.
I have no idea why I'm supposed to care what it's based on.
Does this make any difference at all to the tracking?

You mean the guy who created JavaScript and Mozilla?
What has his political view or believes to do with his product?

for anyone who can't parse the ridiculously reductionist and biased language, he means brendan eich, who created JS and led mozilla for quite a while.
brave is a good browser, and unlike firefox, doesn't leak memory with tons of tabs. you should use it.
