Its the only thing making is a good choice, while people choose Brave, TorBrowser or Librewolf instead.

Firefox needs to have some courage. Get rid of all those fake funding by Ad companies. Block Ads and trackers by default. Actually. Dont use damn Google as that contract will run out anyways.
Chrome is the Google browser. Firefox simply offering nothing more (on the outside) than it.
What do you think? Do you use Firefox out of the Box? Or another browser?

Spell-check doesn’t send things to a server in Firefox - that’s Chrome (and only with a particular setting, IIRC).
Wasn’t sure about that one for FF, better safe than not. Good to know though, thanks for clarifying.
Same for translations btw, Firefox didn’t have built-in translations for a while because Mozilla had to painstakingly work on a research project to figure out how to do translation locally, on your machine, without sharing the page you’re looking at with an external server.
Things like this make the arguments against FF getting funding from search engine companies seem even more shortsighted. That wasn’t a cheap effort at all, but well worth it.
