I'm not sure why companies think that restricting usage this way improves their product in any way. You need a different build, and an online account to do something that should require neither.

Heck, I can only partially understand the "click many times over crap" to enable experimental features, which should have been _enough_ to begin with (and certainly not a requirement in a beta build). How many hoops do I need?

After reading this, I was really /hoping/ Fennec would remove the requirement of having a Mozilla account, but no, you still need to create an account and an useless "collection".

TBH I use (and ever used) Firefox just due to the available extensions. The value proposition has decreased quite a bit with recent FF versions, and on Android uBlock is pretty much the only reason I stick to it.

I wish I had more alternatives, because clearly the browser duopoly isn't working.
