They are a company with very large engineering expenditure that needs to stay afloat, it’s hardly surprising that they would want to monetise their product, I don’t personally feel it is reasonable to assume that offering a tracking-free attribution service on an Internet completely covered with actual tracking services will result in them joining that side of things. What would their selling point to advertisers even be if they did so?
> It's also a famous resource hog. CPU usage any time it's open is just daft on my machine so it had to go. Well, waterfox is what I was using, but same same.
I find both Firefox and all Chromium browsers quite bad at that. I use Firefox because Chromium is quite a lot worse with memory usage as well as CPU, and my machine is hardly ever CPU-limited. Logging into my PC to find it having swapped the world out because a few tabs (usually Google services in fact) have allocated several GB each was an extremely common occurrence with Chrome, even with 32GB. Until 2019 or so, my home PC hadn’t even allocated a swap file with 32GB of RAM, things have got totally horrific lately.
> Bit of a shame, because it leaves chrome in a one horse race underneath every browser.
Agreed.
