Censorship in the modern context typically just means discouraging a particular type of tool or specific tool trait. Platforms like Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter are just social tools that are in a persistent stage of development after all. And given their broad use cases I'd argue they're some of the most versatile tools in history behind simple machines and electricity. The same could even be said of previous social tools like the telephone and the radio. Not that no regulation is good either, but it seemed worth pointing out since it's unclear to me why you're making a distinction between social tools and other types of tools.

Firefox worked great for a few months after the big fuss over Quantum coming out and then went right back to just being a browser for enthusiasts and privacy activists. And that's after that whole dumb advertising push they did with billboards reading scary stuff like "Big Browser is watching."

If anything, Firefox is a good example of why it's probably better for aspiring browser competitors to start off by just spinning off from Chromium like Brave did. Not that Brave is perfect either, especially not on desktops, but the saved resources let them focus on finding ways to surpass the competition like improving the mobile ui.
