Mozilla Firefox hasn't been doing great lately. Now Linux distributions like Zorin OS are ditching the browser as the default option and changing over to things like Brave. This is the latest Linux news and we'll see what happens with the Firefox Browser here in the coming months as the Google Antitrust case unfolds.

Firefox is facing backlash for its new terms of service, which many feel violate user privacy. Zoran OS has dropped Firefox as their default browser, citing privacy concerns. Prominent YouTubers are also moving away from Firefox. With Chrome and Edge known for data collection, Brave is suggested as a privacy-friendly alternative. Mozilla could face funding issues if Google withdraws their $500 million support.

Firefox in Trouble.. Linux Starts Ditching the Browser #linux #pc #tech

Honestly? No system should come with a default browser, I’m in Brazil and I think Windows, Mac or Linux should abide to the rule of LET ME F***ING CHOOSE MY BROWSER!!!
Does it costs so much to have a selection window once I install my system? Ok, there can be a default browser chosen by the product owners or for linux, with a consensus over the community, but pre-installed browser for me is forcing you to use something you don’t even know you want it!

They would be wiser to switch to another Gecko-based browser
Other web browsers using Gecko include GNU IceCat, Midori, Waterfox, K-Meleon, Lunascape, Portable Firefox, Conkeror, Classilla, and TenFourFox.
If Gecko goes away, we’ll only have Blink (chrome) and webkit left

As a long-time Firefox fan, I am disappointed by their decision. At the same time, I understand that development requires a significant financial investment.
Even if Gecko is discontinued, I might use an alternative browser for a while.

Because it doesn’t make much sense to me…
