Honest to god, the browser that wins is the one with the least bullshit popping up in my face when I open it
Firefox then?
Yup.
Now with Mozilla VPN! Click here to connect and upgrade your account!
The containers UI is damn near unusable, they've squeezed so many of those "offers" into the tiny addon manager popup.
I wish Mozilla had management who understood their userbase. But instead they keep pulling this crap which only makes me (and likely most other power users) less likely to use Mozilla branded products.
That would probably be GNOME Web, because it literally does not pop up anything. Not on the first launch, not on any other launch.
But that’s really only helpful if you’re on Gnome, so Firefox, more likely.
These things aren't mutally exclusive. Edge sucks even on this level
