Mozilla has defeated Microsoft’s default browser protections in Windows
Meanwhile, Firefox released version 57 that killed most of their extensions and add-ons. Then it imposed terrible changes to their UI that you can&#x27;t change with the new extensions. Want tabs below the address bar? Too bad. Github now has numerous projects for re-vamping Firefox&#x27;s userChrome.css because its UI is THAT bad. And now there&#x27;s Proton. I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s someone out there that likes it, but I haven&#x27;t heard from anyone who does. Want to turn it off? Too bad. Mozilla thinks they know what&#x27;s best for their users and seems incapable of internalizing any criticism. If Firefox is so great, why would so many calories get burned creating Waterfox?  If Mozilla were really doing a great job with Firefox, giving people what they really wanted in a browser, they wouldn&#x27;t need to be quite so concerned about Microsoft&#x27;s shenanigans. If it were a great and wonderful browser, people would want it and do what they needed to do to install it. This is not an argument that what MS is doing is okay; it&#x27;s not. But after everything Firefox has dished out over the last few years, it&#x27;s just difficult for me to feel too sorry for them.
