Then you can go back to chrome or chromium, both of which Google has pushed a binary plugin to that records voice in the past.
Debian had to raise a storm over it and turned into a compile-time only option to not get the microphone listening plugin on your chromium install.
- eckza 9y agoFine, but that doesn't make the points in the comment you're replying to any less valid. That's... not how it works.
- syshum 9y agoI never left FF, I have been using FF since the very first Beta Releases, I have been using Mozilla Browsers since before FF was even a concept I support Mozilla on Ideological grounds and it is said they are dropping their Ideology in favor of a pure commercial company.
- wwweston 9y agoSpeaking for myself, I'm not going back to Chrome over this alone -- I'm pleased with how FF57 handles and enough of Mozilla's positive efforts over time that I'm unlikely to let this event define them if they take steps to make sure it's an anomaly. But every one of these things seems like legit issues that I'd like to see made an anomaly, and it's conceivable that if Mozilla isn't able to make it crystal clear that they know how to make things go that way, Chrome might well be the right choice.
