No, and no other forks of Firefox should be either. Why don’t you guys get that you can do the same stuff with Firefox as all these different forks do, and still get same day updates and security patches?
Because its so hard to configure something on my mother’s laptop that stays on a different continent, cannot figure out how to share screen. There is value in knowing which browser is better out of the box, so I can set it and forget it on any computer that’s not mine.
There’s still some value that “private” forks add to the list - you can see how well a tweaked Firefox can perform.
Specially relevant in this page because this test uses Firefox as is, without installing uBlock Origin, which is ultra basic advice for privacy. IMO they do this to benefit Brave, but whatever.
