FONZ added Mozilla Firefox as alternative(s) to Lemur Browser
Good privacy, many add-ons, open source, no Google
It's open source, safe, customizable, resource-saving
A great browser that's lost it's way.
As of 8/6/17 Firefox has begun to collect user data in an attempt to collaborate with Online News Association (A VERY partisan organization,) in an attempt to collect data on "fake news" websites and prevent users from seeing them. There are also rumors that they have teamed up with Piere Omidyar and are providing the information to help with his "fake news" censoring agenda. Mozilla, however, has yet to comment on the supposed relationship as of 10/9/17.

totally agree, I've had to use a modified version for over a year now. They have confirmed your statements with the actions described here: https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/mozilla-threatens-to-go-beyond-deplatforming-in-creepy-statement/

The only relationship between Mozilla and the Online News Association (a nonpartisan group of journalists) is when Mozilla collaborated on A-Frame, an open source VR framework that journalists can use in to present their stories stories: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-empowers-journalists-power-frame/ . It's ironic that you are complaining about Firefox blocking "fake news" when your entire comment is essentially "fake news" and I am reading your comment on Firefox right now.

It finds a nice balance between privacy and convenience for everyday use. However other gecko-based browsers expanded upon and surpassed it in certain areas, mainly privacy. So even if firefox is still my default, I find myself opting to use waterfox or librewolf from time to time.
Pros : ✅ FOSS, libre and private ✅ Cross-plateform : available on Android, iOS, Linux, MacOS and Windows. ✅ Firefox is based on the Gecko browser engine, an open-source project launched by the Mozilla Foundation. It is one of the three main browser engines, along with Blink (Brave, Chromium, Google), developed by Google, and WebKit (Safari), developed by Apple. ✅ Your Mozilla account saves your bookmarks, your browsing history, your saved passwords and more. And this synchronization between all your connected devices is encrypted. ✅ Numerous add-ons and themes available ✅ Picture-in-picture mode for videos ✅ A beautiful and customizable interface ✅ Great possibilities with settings
Meh : ✅❌ In light of recent information (2024), Firefox tends "to bring trustworthy AI into Firefox."
Cons: ❌ By default, Firefox is not really private... Telemetry is enabled, cookies and ads are not blocked, HTTPS-only mode is disabled... If you're concerned about your privacy, you'll need to harden Firefox (Techlore explains this in this video: https://youtu.be/F7-bW2y6lcI), or use another version like Mullvad Browser, LibreWolf or Tor Browser. ❌ The Mozilla Foundation is 86% funded (in 2020) by Google. That's why Google Search is the default search engine. Ironic, considering that Mozilla is fighting to protect privacy on the Internet.
🙏 Thanks to the developers and the open-source and libre community.

A great non-profit cross-platform web browser, without using the largely corporation profit-steered Chromium
