This is true for all browsers that have an incognito mode, not just Firefox.
Unless you’re using Tor, there’s not really a way to go 99% incognito.
My point was to stick it to the rabid "F-FFFFIREFOX!" fanboys that think their browser is still the shit over anything and never can go a single browser discussion without them browbeating people to use what they use. I'm all for free choice, do what you will, use what you want. But at least understand that neither browser is perfect and this "godly" Firefox is far from perfect, itself. Why does it still have a 5% marketshare then? More people are still using Chrome and that's a reality whether it's accepted or not.
I don't recall a single instance where I've gone around demanding people use Chrome, which is what I use, just for the sake of using it. It does things for me that I like, it performs in a way that doesn't hinder me and I find some usability with it. I don't give a shit about Google the corporation because of everything they're ruining for everyone currently. And I have had used Firefox for quite a long time, since 2.0 all the way until version 90 as a full time browser. I got sick of it's issues and I've tolerated them for years up to that point. So yeah I do have some say of that browser enough to tell that it's not fucking everything.
Firefox is the only mainstream browser with source code written in full by a nonprofit. That's more than enough for me to evangelize it. Let me know how manifest 3 and the chromium web drm implementation treat you.
