Brave is what Mozilla could have been but chose not to be.
Could they though? If Firefox started having giant ad images on the new tab page, sending ad notifications and pushing crypto scams, the users would be outraged.
But they aren't outraged by collaboration agreements with the largest privacy invaders on the planet?

Excuse my French as a Firefox user, but what the fuck?
Is this a new usage of the word "debounce"? When I was in college, debounce is what we did to eliminate repeated inputs from clicky buttons connected directly to the GPIO pins on a microcontroller.

Here it just sounds like they misspelled "redirect".

Going to some sites you get "bounced" to an AMP page instead. The term debounce seems like a fine choice for the concept of undoing that.

Words can -- and often do -- have multiple meanings.

What if the developers made the informed choice to use AMP? Aren't they going to be hug-of-deathing a lot of sites that thought they had a caching scheme?
