Not that I don’t think it’s a dumb move from Mozilla, but the options right now are:
Stay with Firefox
Move to a Firefox-based browser
Especially since I use Mozilla’s services I’m sorta in their ecosystem right now. Maybe once I’ve moved passwords off I can consider moving, but even then on Android the only browser that supports uBlock is Firefox afaik, which makes it my YouTube client of choice.
I ended up going from Firefox to Proton Pass – and even though Proton is doing some sus things as a company politically, moving off Mastodon, etc., it was painless to export passwords from Firefox, import them into Proton Pass, and then use the Proton Pass extension / app across all devices.
It’s unfortunate for Mozilla, their password manager was the first I ever used, but they let it lag so far behind they lost me as a user. Proton is way better. I’m sure other things are too.
I mean if Im on mozilla’s code im on mozilla’s code no matter what fork that is. Feels like decrying a policy in Arch Linux so you move to Manjaro.
Of course there’s no real alternative engines either. Either Chromium where they’re shuttering Manifest V2 or Webkit which is under Apple so until Ladybird is up there I’m not sure about migrating to a fork.
Nope.

a password manager is better.
100% recommend moving off firefox’s password manager, as it’s generally much more insecure than something like Bitwarden

Ideally, but bitwarden is a great in between solution, you can always export everything later to your self hosted solution of choice.

you don’t need to move to a non-firefox based browser. Honestly what would you move to, chromium?
