    but the hype train was going so fast at the time that people somehow ignored the privacy aspect.

    The privacy aspect was vastly overshadowed by the leap in performance. I was tempted to the dark side for a few years because FF performance was rather bad and chrome was super performant. I ended up switching back a bit before the proton release and have only used it or edge as a more open browser for when I have to use a browser that doesn’t block everything.
