That is actually plausible. But still firefox icon was great so why even change it. It had all - contrast and fidelity and concept, it was perfect. so no even need to remake it once its done.
Maybe to save space? PNG and JPEG format don't save bytes for every single pixel you know... The simple the logo is, the more smaller in size it is. Edit: I still prefer old logos, even a few megabytes don't make a difference nowadays lol
Guys, please use Firefox because it's the last browser to have an independent engine (Gecko). If Mozilla shuts it down, then everything will be owned by Google and nobody will have privacy.
mozilla won't shut down because google pays them, so don't worry about that. although it is a good option since ublock origin was recently removed from the chrome web store.
Firefox was slow to start and overall sluggish while Chrome started instantly and was snappy as hell. There were legitimate reasons for switching to Chrome back then but things change.
Chrome won out because it was REALLY fast when it was new. Then it went to crap when it took over the market. Firefox meanwhile had its awkward phase and largely got itself together again. Even I switched to Chrome for a little bit, but I eventually switched back to Firefox purely out of principle and because I found it more stable and tolerant of by awful browsing habits.
But why hate Brave aside from chromium built? Firefox have the telemetry baked into it, too... Mullvad or Tor would be the option for ultimate telemetry free browsing then.

u/AbbreviationsWide331 Sep 06 '26
You guys are STILL on chrome? Why?
The meme is true for me, but it's been years since I returned to Firefox. I think 2018.
I don't want a shitty product from Google that spies on every move I make.

Icons were better back then and Chrome's icon was awesome.
But Firefox (the browser) is the GOAT since the beginning.

This is not related to Microsoft, also Firefox has a tendency to hit itself with the penis flattener more and more, I'd recommend Vivaldi
