switched to Firefox after an acid trip

I finally understand what Stallman was talking about. Users of nonfree software are slaves.

• Even Chromium phones home to Google
• Alternative Chromium forks like Brave, Iridium, or ungoogled-chromium all have unique fingerprints as non-mainstream browsers. This defeats the purpose of using them. Also you aren't auditing the binary builds of these, which are done by anonymous randoms in their free time.
• You de facto can't compile your own Chromium or maintain your own fork. Besides the cognitive time investment, it would take days to compile, discouraging you from rebasing and re-compiling to apply the latest security updates.
• Mozilla allows you to run a self-hosted sync server, if you really need bookmark/settings syncing.
• Chromium having a faster JavaScript engine is largely irrelevant since a properly paranoid user would block most JavaScript.
• I'd gladly pay for better hardware to run inefficient Firefox if it means being less vulnerable to surveillance.

Change my mind.

Do does firefox actually. Though, firefox at least lets you disable it via about:config.

What really says it all is that Firefox disabled the ability to turn off html autoplay on sites

Works for me on the latest version.

Firefox is inferior

To C*dder's browser? Maybe. To Chromium though, no, after all Chromium does not let me have 1k tabs open at the same time, nor does it support lazy tab loading.
