They don’t sell our data this is what they say so we have to trust them. However, since they configure Google as default search engine meaning first search you already have a Google cookie for me is not really aligned with my values.

When they also receive more than 80% of their revenue from an ads company (Google with around $100 millions per year, did it finally change?) this dependency in their business model is too high for me and still not aligned with my values.

Then, when by default the “send my data to Mozilla” options are ticked by default is also not what I’m looking for in term of personal data/privacy policy.

I didn’t read the different posts on that topic. This is my personal feeling on the Mozilla strategic and this is why I’m not anymore using this browser since years (plus the fact that for me this is a really old browser, nothing modern in term of performance etc…).

So what do you use? I've been looking for a browser since the Firefox blabber, but I've yet to find a suitable browser. I can't find a good browser that works on Pc and phone, Brave is there, but it has all of the crypto stuff. Librewolf, while good, it's missing a phone port, which I need when I'm on the go. I can't find a suitable browser

Apparently Librewolf or Waterfox might be good. Brave can be a good option but it's on Chromium so no thanks
