BeyondWalls 07/15/20 11:08:01 AM #6:	The only reason to use Firefox is no-script. And Mozilla seems to be going out of their way to kill that too. Apparently over on Chrome, the "new tab" organizer I've been using was sending my personal data to some marketing company or something, and finally got disabled.
