Comment on Mozilla is making Firefox faster to compete with Chrome

Comments

Why not just make it better instead of faster?

For example, eliminate tracking from the beginning, and have sensible opt-ins to build trust.

Chrome is not trustworthy because google makes money from identifying you and selling that information, and they build that into the browser.

I think their main goal is to do what chrome did at release. Sandboxing tabs and isolating hanging tabs from the rest of the browser.

GNU icecat is a nice firefox fork with all the call home bits disabled at build time.
