Waterfox is a browser, obviously based on Firefox, but without default “junk” that Firefox comes with.
Don’t see many mentions to Waterfox at all in this community? Are there any specific reasons for it? Seems like a neat version of Firefox, with development based out of the UK.

Don’t discuss Geopolitics on Lemmy. It is a bad idea
Mozilla makes money from Firefox pocket and the sponsored part if the Firefox home screen. You can turn those off but it is still advertising
Maybe but it’s a far cry from Mozilla being an advertising company.
They aren’t even remotely close to companies like Google.
That doesn’t mean they don’t operate in the same issue.
If you want proof, just have a quick glance at their privacy policy.

Mozilla non profit and Mozilla company are different entities.
Also Lemmy tends to be extreme left and pro China and Russia. I don’t really like discussing politics on social media anyway so I tend to just ignore it.

I just think the issues are often more complex than people see. People put up there blinders and refuse to see anything that might make them question there own views.
