It's a shame Firefox sold it's homepage to promote a shitty race-dividing movie, claim social activism, and has forever lost its reputation.

We don't trust google, but it never lied. Firefox lied.

It's motto was literally "don't be evil". It takes a significant mental leap to take your conclusion from it's behaviour.

  >significant mental leap
not too significant, if you believe evil doesn't exist, especially to a new-corp-state-actor as big as fkn giigles
If I cared that much about every online drama I wouldn't be able to use any technology or web service without going insane.

I'm against monopolies & ads and I don't need to watch every movie, so that's an easy choice.

I'm against all those things as well - the only notable difference being that security lapses in the name of "social activism", in a leading browser than millions depend on for more than they should, is simply not permissible to me and many others.

The also impossible delineation between "socially activist ad" and "politically convenient" one make it a tainted resource, both security-wise, and bias-wise.

It is a organization, with no integrity; merely another institutional-preserving husk

What lie did Firefox do? Nothing listed in the examples sounds like a lie
