    1. How secure and private is Firefox?

      I was browsing r/privacy today and I came across this guy going on about how Mozilla was just pretending to be privacy focused. Here's his comment. Now I don't really know what to think of this, and frankly, I'm getting really exhausted of hearing about how all the things I'm using aren't actually trustworthy.

      This have happened before, and Mozilla apologized for it, however it seems that they learned nothing and are willing to do so again.
      There goes the last scrap of my trust into Firefox. I suggest you check your browsers too.
