Why I switched from Firefox to a fork that comes pre-configured with privacy and customization features
The article discusses the author's switch from Mozilla Firefox to a fork (likely Zen Browser or a similar Firefox-based browser) that comes pre-configured with privacy and customization features that Firefox requires manual setup to achieve. The author argues that while Firefox offers strong privacy options, users shouldn't have to manually configure everything to get a good browsing experience. The fork ships with built-in features like vertical tabs, better tab management, enhanced privacy defaults, and a more modern UI out of the box. The piece explores the growing trend of Firefox forks that aim to deliver what Firefox promises but doesn't fully deliver by default.
Key quotes
Enhanced privacy is probably the most common reason people switch to Mozilla Firefox!
Turns out the fix was just using the browser that came pre-fixed.
For what it's worth, Firefox does offer several privacy-centric options that the likes of Google Chrome simply don't.
