    Congrats to Firefox, it really has made substantial improvements over the years.

      Firefox a few years ago would kill my Mac battery in a couple hours, now it’s as good as safari for energy management. No reason not to use it as a daily driver now.

        Ah yes, an open source popular browser that is made by a nonprofit organization is less trustworthy than a close source browser made by a public company

        Isn’t Safari made by Apple? It’s not like Apple is some paragon of corporate virtue, why do you trust them?

          If you’re running Safari, you’re already running their OS. If Apple wants to spy on you, they’ve already got the means to do so, so you’ve already decided to trust them.

          Switching to Chrome or Firefox means trusting one more entity in addition to Apple. This expands your possible exposure.
