I'm not sure depleting their budget would achieve the desired result, but in any case, I don't believe this would make for a very strong case. It doesn't compromise privacy, you're probably already accepting auto-updates, it's just not a way to go about things if you respect your users.
- madez 9y agoAuto-updates can not do data collection without new consent, under the new regulation. Consent must be given for each collection and purpose individually. Service cannot be denied for refusing to give consent. I'm not saying sueing Mozilla is what should be done. But I'm very much interested if it will be possible.
- AsyncAwait 9y agoI don't think this addon did data collection. The backslash is about pushing unwanted code onto the user's machine, not about the addon itself doing something malicious.
- madez 9y agoBut FireFox is on a slippery slope. So, I think it is very much interesting if there are limits one can enforce legally, or not.
