I am just curious because I had it off for a long time but have recently started to opt back in because I am too lazy to report every single bug I encounter when browsing the web but I do want to see Mozilla improve Firefox.

    I don’t. I stopped fiddling with firefox long ago. The fact they kept rolling out privacy hostile features made them similar to chrome from my perspective. So I just used chrome for a few years as it was faster. In the last two years I got into Arkenfox and did the necessary for that, but it always felt to time intensesive, too easy to make a mistake. Now that mullvad-browser is available I use that as my daily driver.

    I have vanilla Firefox installed but I don’t mess with the settings and I barely use it. It’s mostly a backup. Mozzilla corporation lost my faith a long time ago.

    Mullvad browser is my go to for web browsing. I know they are not going to release some new data leaking feature overnight that I have to scramble to fix.

    Degoogled Chrome with different user profiles is where I log into services. (A profile for aws, cloudflare, Lemmy, power company, water, etc). I know Firefox containers are nice, but they don’t separate accounts as distinctly to my liking . I know Firefox also has multiple profiles functionality but the UI is very clunky and just harder to use then chrome profiles.

    Honestly, I have no idea what mine is set to, and the average user won’t either. Just messing with the settings is borderline power user stuff these days, when you factor in the general public. I did something with my settings the day I installed and I haven’t looked back.

    That being said, a lemmy sub for Firefox ain’t exactly a representative sample of the general population.
