The flip side of this is that if you threaten to bail every time there's a "user-hostile move", you'll quickly run out of software/products to use. A few years ago there were users complaining about firefox being "user-hostile" because of [mr robot promo/pocket/addon signing/whatever], but if you bailed on firefox because those what are you going to use?

In my case: Waterfox.

The statement "if you threaten to bail every time there's a user-hostile move, you'll quickly run out of software/products to use" seems true at first, but the longer one thinks about it, the less it makes sense.

If the argument is that all browsers have some user-hostile features, I disagree only meekly. If the argument is that all browsers are equally user-hostile, I disagree strongly.
