I think a big part is that the headline is antithetical to what Firefox’s brand has been, but doesn’t make it clear that this is due to an update. Even just saying “Firefox: The newest Data Collection, Advertising Browser” would be better. Otherwise, people who are familiar with Firefox but not the newest update will read the headline and think, “What? No it isn’t.” Downvote

I’ll admit it was shocking to see their change in stance… and it needs more eyes on it. Your explanation seems plausible though.

I agree, components of the video description and the video itself also seem a bit sensationalist even if the information is factually correct. “cabal” for example.

LibreWolf. All the Firefox, none of the telemetry.

If you want my advice(What I use): ungoogled chromium on desktop and mull on android.

Lynx. Or maybe it’s time for gopher or gemini.
