    To some extend, yes. But convenience and workflow trumps both.for example, I moved to DuckDuckGo a while back. Not because of privacy, but because Google kept removing customisation options, and it’s search results where getting worse and worse.

        I agree

        I’m using chrome, sponsorblock and adblock+. Google hasn’t told me to turn it off yet.

        Maybe it’s because I’m in the EU?

        If it starts becoming a problem, I intend to look into writing a pull request to fix the firefox UX issues

          Fair enough! In that case I also wouldn’t be pressured to jump ship, in fact the only reason I jumped back to firefox in the first place was because chrome couldnt handle the amount of tabs I had and they started crashing
