Yes ( relatively....)
Everyone suggesting forks like librewolf or whatever are missing the most important point..... all these forks are downstream... so if you kill firefox, you kill all the downstream forks (unless someone willing to do the heavy lifting and work full time on one of the forks)
If people are willing to kill firefox over some stupid features the can be opt-out, then you are cutting your nose to spite your face (and hand it over to google/chrome)
firefox is literally the only thing stopping/slowing google/chrome total control of internet standards
I'd rather Mozilla ask for donations than to give me ads and bloatware. I'd be more than happy to donate periodically. If they don't correct the current course, I'm not sure for how much longer they'll keep loyal users like me. I'm sick of having to turn a bunch of things off every time, and of having to be vigilant about the new crap they keep introducing.
