A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't know how you can follow web development and say Mozilla is a slave to Google. They go against nearly everything Google proposes. I get it that Mozilla makes money off of Google but in practice they are anything but slaves.

I find nothing morally or ethically superior to Mozilla vs Google. Nothing. As for the browsers, I'll admit I have kept Firefox and ditched Chrome, as I suspect (cannot prove) the former might be a tad less invasive than the latter. I rarely use it now that I have Waterfox. That said I do use Comodo IceDragon, Epic Privacy Browser and Brave...I assume all based on Chromium/Chrome. I'd guess Brave is the most up-to-date browser for Windows 7. It works well when various sites flip the birdie to the other browsers, so I use it.
They can do whatever they want, they only do it because Google allows it.
By that logic, Brave is also completely against Google because they block their ads and go against them.
