&quot;Firefox is already a leader in foundational qualities like speed and privacy&quot;<p>Incorrect? Firefox&#x27;s default settings run obscure and opaque studies, collect data, save browser passwords and data by default. This is both a privacy and security issue out of the box. Malware can simply copy and upload all of it. Recently there was the courtroom software fake &#x27;fffmpeg.exe&#x27; hack that accomplished that.<p>Firefox should be looked at like software components. Modules that can be used by other projects. Chromium did this which spawned Node.js, Electron. I would very much like to use firefox&#x27;s tech in my software, but I can&#x27;t! It&#x27;s actually easier to compile WebKit to all platforms than to even try.<p>I hope the best for Mozilla, and perhaps going forward they can figure out how to focus on engineering and next gen.
