Time to dump Firefox

Is it time to dump Firefox and just use the MS browser? I've used FF for so many years that I've lost track of how other browsers perform. Yet, with version 91, such basic things were screwed up (on purpose or by accident, I can only guess) and user control so ignored that I feel I am now using a MS product.

I posted one issue but I have run across at least one stupid issue, and expect more now, so I'm not going to start a list. I'll just say things were needlessly broken and true user control was limited. One cannot even go back from this sad upgrade as profiles are locked to the newer version and blocked from use with the last working version.

I'm well past old enough to know that this is how open-source functioned in its early years when consistency from version to version was lost in the flow of [too many] ideas. I also have seen the opposite - authoritarian ways of MS and backed away from them beyond OS. Now, I'm sensing FF has reached the authoritarian days too.

Didn't see a better place to post this but someone needed to hear it.

I understand but where do you go? There are Firefox forks which I would consider and other browsers based on Google's browser. Google is at least as bad as MS but the forks may be OK; I would prefer a Firefox fork. For now, I am using userChrome.css to fix the worst of Mozilla's efforts; at least you can still do that.
