> exactly what's the problem with re-inventing?

Because their blog makes a big song and dance about the items I quoted above as the answer to their self-imposed question "why the heck do we need a new browser?".

They are saying "we need a new browser" because "Zero telemetry, privacy‑first access has been lost".

However the reality is that zero-telemetry has NOT been lost. It is there in Firefox Focus, Mullvad Browser and doubtless others too.

Therefore, I quite rightly am returning to their question "why the heck do we need a new browser?".

Because "there are no zero telemetry browsers" is factually incorrect as an answer to their headline question.

At the very least they should address their competitor products and why they consider themselves different. Don't just bury your head in the sand and pretend your product has no competitors.

But really they should have picked a better headline topic to base their blog on.
