I used to use firefox but switched back after I read Madaidan's article on the security of web browsers
Is it this one? https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/
This makes sense for anyone with a real threat model (companies, server hosts, internet drug dealers), for those who just meme and scream I'd say FF is better just for the health of the internet.
Yeah. While these issues exist and are valid, they're not important at all for most users and threat models. Mozilla has made strides there and is continuing to improve.
while it's not relevant for my threat model or anything, I still do think that it's important to practice good hygiene and send the message to the people who design these browsers that security is important.
Oh 100%, I didn't intend to imply anything else. Mozilla definitely should improve in this aspect, my point was just that sometimes the issues are heavily exaggerated and people act like it makes Firefox some horribly insecure browser that should be avoided, which isn't the case at all. But Mozilla should absolutely improve the sandbox, I don't disagree there.
