I wasn't talking about the abilities of Mozilla browsers, as I already mentioned, I'm using them, I just don't like the policy. If you package e.g. Firefox for a distro, it's possible to use another startpage by default, but it's not allowed to do it. This is one problem I've got with Mozillas. IOW, the very first time you start a Mozilla browser that was packaged without offending a license, you will load their Google thingy. This is restricted freedom, IOW not freedom. Google is known as a data protection risk. Changing it by the GUI, after you already started Firefox, doesn't prevent you against collecting data by Google and Google's friends, such as the NSA.
