Reddit privacy moderators recently censored this content over a day after it was posted. IMO the reason is suspicious.

Damn. So, assuming it’s true, what would be a suitable alternative? Is Firefox compromised or nah?
Firefox is definitely a better browser than Brave (which has a history that’s riddled with controversy), but there are a couple forks of it that intentionally make it more private too.
But for practical purposes, installing Firefox and disabling Telemetry is more than acceptable for the average person!
Thanks a lot for the tip!
Librewolf & Waterfox are hardened firefox but if you are more on focused on looks i think Zen is better
Zen had some really concerning security/privacy concerns recently, which called into the question the competence of the creator, so I’d be wary of it.
that really is very concerning
Even if Firefox were compromised by megalomaniacal shitheads, it would still be worth picking over any Chromium-based browser because every Chromium-based browser helps cement Google’s hegemony over web standards.
