I gave some thought to switching back when Eich "resigned".

In the end I decided that continuing to support Mozilla by using and advocating for Firefox was the lesser of two evils - the alternative being to surrender to a Web mono-culture.

The deciding factor for me was: what would harm free speech more?

1) a browser duopoly involving an org willing to chuck their CEO under a bus for legitimate but oppressive political donations, or

2) a browser monopoly owned by an advertising company?

In the end I decided (1) was the best bet. But I swear, Mozilla keeps me on my toes reconsidering it :)
