Furthermore, the fact that the browser is open source means that you can verify this yourself. Most of your activity on Firefox never goes to Mozilla servers, so there's nothing to trust them about. Both Firefox and Safari have this part proprietary What happens with your data once it is transferred to their servers. Furthermore, installing features via addons has always been the preferred way to do things on Firefox. You might argue that Safari has popularized shipping with privacy protections by default, and I'd grant that, but that doesn't mean they pioneered tracking prevention itself. It therefore literally predates the existence of Safari which wasn't released until 2003.
For example, historically the most popular ad / tracking blocker, Adblock Plus, was forked in 2005 from an open source extension for Firefox called simply Adblock which existed since 2002. Safari actually pioneered tracking prevention.Ĭan you explain what you mean by this? As far as I'm aware, most privacy features (other than convenience tools like pop-up blockers) actually gained their popularity in the form of addons for Firefox.

The most recent things that would disprove my point of view is the android libraries, and the old Boot 2 gecko code still used by Kai OS which later got an updated Gecko. They carried that modularity over to Chromium where it's used in all sorts of things between Angle being used in Firefox, V8 being used in Node, and then downstream libraries like Electron or CEF.įirefox doesn't exactly have that level of flexibility, and even the stalwart "XPCOM/NPAPI/XUL" fans that forked firefox have to fight Mozilla on engineering changes because Mozilla's developing Firefox first and foremost, and the inclusion of rust is something the XUL fans don't want to touch. Then you have google, which opted to use webkit on android and in Chrome because it was modular.

Mozilla's supporters are free to disagree with me on this, but Apple avoided using Mozilla Firefox as a backend for Safari because they didn't want to be tied up in xpcom and xul. The real issue is that Mozilla doesn't really have the time, funding, or interest to make firefox a backend for other browsers.
