Technically it was with permission, because people had shild program enabled in Firefox, it's a different story who enabled it, and why it re-enables after upgrade.
- gpm 9y agoMy understanding is that the extension was installed for everyone, without permission, but only actually did anything with permission.
- nkkollaw 9y agoIt shouldn't be possible to install add-ons without the user's explicit permission IMHO. The fact that this functionality exists is bad enough, even if they didn't use it.
- detaro 9y agoDoes participating in a program to study potential improvements in Firefox equal permission to roll out advertising? I guess one could construe it as "experiment how people react to ads", but I doubt that's what those responsible had in mind.
