- I don't care that much about privacy anyway. I don't really get why privacy geeks talk about Google collecting your searches while willingly keeping Mozilla telemetry (which is something W disables by default) on. What's the difference? I get why Google shouldn't be collecting external data but I have no issue at all with giving them the data I actually input. Plus Firefox has a lot more deals with bad privacy groups like Google, Fakespot, and Pocket.
- You can't make the assumption that they got worse on privacy just because they got bought. They're open-source, show me the code.
- Waterfox is said to be slightly faster. They also seem to have a lot more focus for development.
- Waterfox disables some of the Mozilla BS, like Pocket and that weird redesign of tabs to floating, by default.
