Show me another browser that still runs uBlock Origin.
Other browsers may be less resource intensive but with unreadable internet.

Still currently Firefox is the best option we have, don't we? In terms of compatability and features anyway. For years working as a full-stack developer I stubbornly sticked to Firefox and it has served me well.

I guess complaints are aimed at Firefox's desktop browser but mobile Firefox browser is pretty good and they are the only mobile browser that I know of that supports third party extensions. That fact by itself should be a killer app for Firefox mobile browser.

Firefox is fine, what are they on about? I'm not going to switch to Chrome because Firefox is a few percent away from perfect. Firefox desktop recently added tab groups and it's a fantastic feature.

Firefox has its problems but it's the least bad of all, and I've tried them all. Chromium-based browsers are a non-starter, Brave messed up that one big time. On the other hand, Firefox-derived browsers are used by VPNs that know how to do web privacy and security - this is the way, get Firefox, configure it properly, make a few minor changes and give your users a better option.

I completely disagree. For me, Firefox is the best current browser on the whole, and in recent years I've moved most of my work and play away from Chrome, Arc, Safari, etc. in favor of Firefox. It has retained support for Manifest v2, which is huge for me. The Chrome maintainers seem hellbent on cultivating the web into an ad-addled hellscape.

And Thunderbird is dead to me

mozilla has tried many projects over the years. i don't remember any that survived. so i'll wait an see whether they manage to ruin firefox with AI before i switch. until then firefox is still better than chromium/chrome.
and even then unfortunately if we don't have a choice. if firefox dies the result will be a chromium based monoculture. that's not healthy. firefox may be the worst browser except for all the others.
let's see if ladybird gets any traction and manages to keep its funding continuously. but they are still a year or two away from being able to even compete with firefox and chrome.
