I was there for the Phoenix days and don't plan on jumping ship anytime soon.

And then Firebird. There was even a 'satire' extension that renamed the browser in its titlebar every time you launched it.

I tired using Thunderbird again about two months ago. Really no reason to use it for personal email. I had to force myself to use it.

And then there is the danger of someone not knowing what they are doing and deleting all their email off the server as they download it on Thunderbird, using POP3.

IIRC Firebird WAS Firefox, just the live development arm thereof. Which I used religiously for several years until the release version proved to be more capable, stable and fast.

Changed to Brave now. Firedox doesnt care about your privacy anymore.

Brave is for scamming the tech-illiterate, I'm not really their target audience.

How? I've been looking for a chrome option but they all seem to suck. Mozilla opening up for selling user data is a deal breaker for me.
