You must have left before Tobi got given the boot. There's no drama anymore. It's also in a much better position feature and bug-wise. You're wrong about the last part. It's not being outpaced by "the rate the internet is changing by". That's all on google. Which you just confirmed by changing to a google browser.. tsk tsk. I use Pale Moon 99% of the time, and it works on most sites. There are ways around the troublesome sites. It isn't the browser that should change, but the sites coding only for google.
Or just block all that annoying stuff with uBlock Origin, µMatrix, ButWhyModal, RemoveOverlay, and always set block location and notifications.
Also, don't use any google chrome/ium or firefox browsers, because they're the ones implementing this stuff. They're also evil and woke.
