    Mozilla isn’t exactly making their browser better, either. Unless buying a data harvesting company and using it to push more ads counts as making it better.

    Edit: I would love to see replies from people who support Mozilla doing this, rather than just downvotes.

        True, but if you use that excuse, you’ve given Mozilla a blank check to continue worsening their browser!

        A metaphorical blank check. Obviously Google is the one signing the physical one to Mozilla.

          even in the event that it does get worse I can just downgrade or even fork it myself

          one of the many benefits of open-source software

            Google’s Chromium is open source too… Why don’t you just downgrade or fork that yourself?

            Or, perhaps, a large company that monolithically accepts changes to a product has a lot of control, even if you can download the source code
