Like many things, unfortunately, much of computing is run on feelings, tradition, and group loyalties, when it should use facts, evidence, and hard numbers.

So true...

Though I'd say "feelings" is ultimately what always determines the objective... but the means to reach that objective should always be based on facts, evidence and hard numbers. Not tradition nor group loyalties (nor whether any particular group "betrays" any particular preconception we might have had of them).

I honestly couldn't care less what the management of Mozilla thinks.. I only care about the actions they take that affect the software I use. I agree that we're still better off with Firefox. The alternatives at the moment are either worse, lacking or counterproductive to the development of their common base.

I'm keeping my eye on the likes of qutebrowser and ladybird (I would have added netsurf too, but I've been waiting on that one to catch up to the level that I'd need for far too long to have any hopes).
