Firefox - a promised land of privacy that never happened. Look elsewhere unless you're a coder with the ability to stop the enormous data mining.

Ungoogled Chromium repo is just hosting patches to apply to Chromium's code and some utilities written in Python, but there's no code in there from which to build actual web browser.

@Sampei.Nihira doesn't know that. He has nothing to back it up, otherwise you'd get the answer already. The user simply ignores when asked to point to the source. There's a big possibility of chatting with a kid who's simply having fun on the other side of the cable. Let's see why, you asked him to back his info up, give links, etc, of course no proof followed, as usual.

For the other question you ask,I have not been a programmer for at least 20 years (a Mesozoic era in this environment) so I cannot answer you exactly and prefer to leave the eventual answer to other MSFN members who have up-to-date expertise certainly better than mine.

You ought to set your "programmer from 1990s" legend straight before posting, otherwise it looks funny, I'd even say boringly funny, the ends between what you claim and the reality don't meet.

Proof:

"Rust programming language first appeared only on May 15, 2015"!

Same here.

Mainly, because I actually do not believe that "anybody" on MSFN actually uses FIREFOX.

FORKS of Firefox, yes.  But I really really really do not think we have any MSFN Members running "real" 'upstream' Firefox.

"Used in the past, no more." option is suitable, no?

I do sometimes when Pale Moon fails. Plain Firefox, none of the forks that are close to it, because they don't offer anything that would draw me to them. Except maybe Ablaze Floorp, GUI wise at least, though with how little I use Firefox in general, I haven't given it a long enough run to consider if it works better for me than Firefox with tweaks I have.

I already use Windows 10, some of Google's services, a smartphone signed into Google account etc. so going out of my way for Firefox won't make much difference. I turn some obvious stuff off in about:config, similar with other software and that's about it.

I only commented on one aspect in this thread I knew about, but otherwise, I got lost and don't really follow and am not the expert in these matters.
