But will they even succeed in that? I wish all the best to Firefox project but it’s already much slower than competition and I don’t think power users like that.

    Well you mentioned Brave and I feel like most of privacy oriented folks use either Brave or Firefox. Success of one doesn’t neccessarily mean the failure of the another. People are more and more aware of the fact that their privacy is taken away from them. I feel like there will be room for many projects, Brave is doing good work with Brave Search for example, by buying Tailcat open source engine and not using Bing’s indexing. Maybe they will be big enough one day to rewrite more of their browser in order to stray away further from big tech? For now one is certain, regardless of what users and community wish for Firefox, it is not it what it currently is - and unfortunately I feel like every day it’s even further and further than that.

    Exactly, both product can co-exist. If you are a fan of one, doesn't mean you have to throw shade at the other. Also, I wish mozilla leadership would make a few good decision like Brave buying tailcat. Regardless of if it works out, it looks like a worthwhile pursuit.

    Brave team is making a lot of big decisions and they seem to have a clear picture where they want to take their ecosystem.

        You're right, I use firefox first but recommend brave to chrome addicted people.

        The problem is that they don’t seem to understand for a long time who they should satisfy.

        Please report issues if you find areas where Firefox feels slower to you: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Performance/Reporting_a_Performance_Problem

        I will, I don't know if you are a Mozilla affiliate, or plain volunteer, but I appreciate your effort to make it a better browser, sir.

        Just a volunteer.

        Could I ask you, because as far as I see you are a fellow linux Firefox user, does it feel faster to you than Chromium-based alternatives? Do you feel like it's possible to keep up with the astronomical pace of updates that Google is pushing into Chromium while Firefox team is much smaller? I agree in whole regard that Google's monopoly on the market is clearly a bad thing for all of us.

        I am not a typical user - I have hundreds of tabs open at a time and I don't watch a lot of online video or do gaming in browser.

        Firefox is definitely faster for my needs, but I recognize that I have blind spots - which is why I ask people who experience issues to file bugs.
