Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

It's been pretty painless to switch to https://www.waterfox.net/ on desktop. There's also a Waterfox app for Android.

I would recommend using tor browser, since there are major known honeypots like YIFY out there. I've also seen IIS/.NET errors during downtime on watchsomuch just like YIFY, which NO non-corporate entity (or corporate entity founded after 2010) is going to pay a premium for over Linux for, basically guaranteeing it is also a honeypot. Watch yourself out there.

Sorry what’s the issue with YIFY?
