Yeah screw these guys, I’m going back to chrome!

But really, relax guys. Ads are the only way to run a profitable browser business. Change my mind. Any paid solution won’t get the scale to make the numbers work.

Why do you think a web browser needs to make money?

Cause food costs money and people need food and software needs people. I don’t make the rules, just play by them.

Web standards have been made so needlessly complex that a paid team of full time professionals has become an unspoken requirement to build a functionally complete web browser. I believe that the entities who guide web standards knew this, and had done so deliberately to push out competition from collaborative volunteer projects that were once long ago possible.

LibreWolf works perfectly fine, it’s a great Firefox fork putting privacy first.
