This rant sums up my thoughts exactly. I want firefox to be the most functional tool it can be. Not some presumptuous furry animal that is emotionally and politically charged.

It’s off-putting even if you don’t mind the ideology. It’s a kind of childish, emotionally-stunted but emotions-obsessed, sterile and plastic but “self-expression”-obsessed, creepy vibe.

hell, i'm actually even ok with a browser openly having a political stance[1] and i also hate the way firefox communicates. the colorway thing (not the word itself; that's standard design terminology the OP ranter isn't aware of) especially is disgusting. literally no-one is empowered by selecting a color theme for their browser. i know disabled artists and other "independent voices" and i promise none of them is saying "i finally feel free since i switched to firefox and got to make my browser green." it's quite offensive all around.

[1] the OP rant is also pretty obviously wrong in assuming the non-mozilla companies they support don't have/push political stances

		> i'm actually even ok with a browser openly having a political stance I am afraid you are ok with it having THE political stance. You would mind it having a different one. And there are people objecting to the current one. This is a distraction and hinders the future of the browser. It is just a program.
