Privacytools.io inclusion
Answer: I don't know why. This is what I do know... During Privacytools review of CTemplar it was revealed we have a coder that lives in Pakistan, and one that is transgender. You can read the whole review discussion here although the comments relating to this discussion have been deleted. Some people suggested that a coder from the middle east was more likely to become a terrorist and a transgender employee is more likely to make sexual advances on people. It was alledged that both of these things were bad for email services. Privacytools assured me that they did not care about coders nationality or sexuality and they advised me to ignore the trolls. After that open discussion, there were a few things I discussed with the PT.io team via email. Then roughly around June of 2020 PT.io told me that we meet all their security standards, and we could be listed on their site. At the same time, I received an anonymous email saying that CTemplar wouldn’t be listed on PT.io until the Transgender & Pakistani were removed from the team. I responded to that emails telling them to go fuck themselves. In hindsight, I should not have sent an unkind email like that. I told my two employees to stay with CTemplar but they eventually quick because their feelings were hurt. Mine would be also if I was them. I miss them though.

It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

Waterfox G6.0.2 had whitelisted search deal partner www.bing.com against user extensions in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

I don't understand what's so good about Firefox
Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.
