Let 'im. Blah, blah, blah....all the programs you run have access to the data within, I stopped listening at 4:05, he got a little too excited about the app having access to data, I mean, wtf?! Mozilla was simply spelling out the details so this guy now has a thing to pick at and become excited about.

Drivel.

For what? There's not a better option, everything else is based on Chromium which is just moving to supporting Google, and also just removed v2 extensions which cripples what you can do with the browser.

I don't think anyone should ditch Firefox at this point.

WaterFox seems pretty good.

Also, as far as chromium goes, it's trivial to use literally any other chromium-based browser rather than Google's. Even Microsoft Edge hasn't killed Manifest v2 (yet…not actually sure if they plan to do it or not).

WaterFox seems pretty good.

Lowercase "f," just like in "Firefox." And yes it is; I've been on Waterfox for years!
