I care about my privacy, though I like it’s UI. Is it really as bad as some say?

    because that effectively make them an advertising company.

    Advertising online is incompatible with privacy, there’s no reconciliation between the two. And whoever tells you otherwise, is an advertiser.

      Some people dont see it as a black and white issue.

      Does firefox lose its privacy status if it takes google money and makes the default search engine google search?

      Unfortunately there’s ads in Firefox too, and they’re opt out instead of opt in. I’m certainly not a fan of it, but outside of LibreWolf until servo becomes a thing I think should be right but we’re stuck choosing lesser of multiple evils.

        there’s a huge different: Firefox does not inject ads on the pages you visit.

        Anyway, I recommend to use Librewolf or Mullvad Browser instead of Firefox.
