grahamperrin As I said in the dev Telegram group, I am not against the change to UG Chromium. That said, it was kind of my seal of approval. I stand with @vimanuelt message. Vic started this topic on the Forum, but I started it in the Telegram user group. Vic added this discussion to the forum so that users who only use the forum know what's going on.
This change might not happen in the next release, but Firefox must be removed if Mozilla does not stop abusing user privacy. I have made my position clear on Telegram that I am unhappy with its current state, and that is also why I started that conversation on Telegram.
Brave would be my first pick, but it does not support FreeBSD. I have not investigated too deeply what would be the best choice, but ultimately, it is up to the community to come up with a solution.
There is another thing that Mozilla is doing that I will not start to talk about, because it is unrelated to privacy.
@grahamperrin, one thing you have not yet addressed with me is what transparency issue you are referring to.
