Unfortunately true, though the engine itself is still written by a bunch of very competent programmers, who manage to more or less keep up with Chrome despite having only half as many people.
Mozilla did just announce that they're firing 250 people because they were hit hard by the coronavirus (or maybe their support of BLM, but they probably wouldn't admit that even if they knew it to be true). With any luck most of the people they're laying off will be activists, but I'm not holding my breath.
Mozilla is, but I don't think they get a lot of funding for being progressive. The activists they're trying to appeal to don't give a shit about privacy or a free and open web, and Mozilla will never be as progressive or valuable to them as Google is.
That's why I think their progressive posturing only hurts them, financially. A lot of the people who might be interested in donating to Mozilla out of a desire to oppose Google are turned away by their political leanings. But I doubt Mozilla will change - the actual programmers might not spend a lot of time on progressive activism, but the upper echelons and HR have been completely taken over.
Back to Firefox then?
firefox is controlled by regressive leftists.
Well, where else?
Opera is CCP.
Chrome is Goolag.
Edge is Microsoft.
Seems like another situation where least worst is the answer. For me that's probably MS.
Pale Moon maybe?
I don't even know what that is. Is that available on mobile?
Then use one of the many forks not operated by Mozilla. I'm partial to Waterfox. I know some people love Pale Moon

If I were a betting man, my money would rather be on "for insufficiently vocal support for BLM". Mozilla is converged as fuck.
