Should Mozilla software still be recommended for privacy?

Geocities pages of multicolored centered text are surely the best places to get information.
Cut through all the bullshit, and Mozilla produces a program that can easily be evaluated. We know what Firefox does because you can download it and see for yourself, and it's even open source too.

Mozilla is no longer recommended for privacy. They have already shown it several times, but still people trust them. Indeed, Mozilla is an organization that has fooled people for the longest time.
But please note that website contains some extravagant information as well as some false information. But most points what he says is credible and I also agree with them, but some are just really extravagant.

It's easy to point out the flaws with ff, but meaningless without a context of what you recommend and why.

And see IceCat. That's what Firefox could have come up with if Mozilla would take care of users and privacy. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend IceCat because of late security updates, and so, but the project is really a good example of what Mozilla could have done.
Also, even plain Chromium is better than Firefox (yes, you read it right).

That’s nonsense.

Brave really? How is Brave better than Mozilla/FF?

sure, mr throwaway account. but i wonder if you could elaborate

Mozilla has the same profit motives as Google, etc.
Effectively Measuring Search in Firefox
Firefox installs add-ons into your browser without consent… again
Firefox buys Cliqz, a data slurping engine, and begins testing it on users
Mozilla: Ad on Firefox’s new tab page was just "another experiment"
Mozilla betrays Firefox users and its nominal principles
You shouldn't allow Firefox to recommend things to you any more
Mozilla faces blowback after slipping Mr Robot plugin into Firefox
Mozilla plans to collect Firefox browsing data
Mozilla is still screwing around with privacy in Firefox
Firefox User Tracking = Spyware, trust is playful
Notes on what data is collected[...] The android_uuid uniquely identifies the device
Firefox collects almost every move you make
Pocket - The Privacy Nightmare
^ Pocket "operates" also when it is disabled (through
about:config) via activity-stream spyware.
^ Remember, Firefox connects to these sites.
How can a privacy-based browser collect so much information? And compare it to Brave Browser Privacy Policy! Also, don't forget the numerous "system add-ons".
Mozilla recommends Google Drive
Mozilla's new DNS resolution is dangerous
Google Analytics is used to track users
And these are just SOME examples. There are many more too. When we look at this, for example, Chrome collects almost exactly the same information, in fact, even less to some extent, when Chrome does not install system add-ons (Chromium even less than Chrome and Firefox), and people fear this data collection, but not when "privacy" browser collects even more data? Mozilla really fools people. And don't forget how cunning Mozilla's PR team is. The Mozilla Blog is just a terrible PR site where Mozilla fools people. One example:
Keeping Add-Ons Safe for our Users
^ Please tell me... WHAT IS THAT BLOG? There is no information at all and only buzzwords. It was one the most useless Mozilla blogs I have ever read.
People should really wake up with Mozilla. Mozilla is not your friend more than Google.

Ha! This goes even further than I thought. Truly worse than Google.

This article is sure polarized, but Firefox is just the least worst of all browsers.

Well the Tor Browser would be the best option.
Worst then Chrome?
much worse since Mozilla isn't search engines & online ads giant
