I think what really hurts, for me, is that this has become the general tone from Mozilla - whether the changes are ones I'd agree with or not.

I remember back when the Spread Firefox campaign was still around - at the time, Firefox and Mozilla in general felt grassroots, fun, and human. Like a club anyone could join and that anyone would want their friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers or people they didn't like to get in on: an all-in-this-together effort for a better internet.

Anymore, Mozilla feels more and more corporate, more like a company - even as Google Chrome (and the many browsers built from Chromium) eats away more and of their market share and they move toward being "the little guy" again - and less and less like a group of people.

I think what I really miss is having a browser that made me care about it beyond just wanting alternatives.

That was long long time ago. I think something like early 00s when Firefox was just launched. Things changed. Mozilla is no longer the same.
