Because it's a discussion we need to have, and I realized that my standalone comment wasn't going to accomplish that. My later comment did, BTW, even though it's now "hidden" to some extent for some unknown reason. HN mods being pro-Mozilla? (BTW, an accusation which you claim is not an accusation is a poor accusation indeed.)

There is a growing list of stumbles as Mozilla pursues additional market share, but the the company is building the browser pointed in the best direction. Hopefully there is a happy medium somewhere between "a mistake has been made" and "the end justifies the means" but it's still being sorted out. In case you missed it, the extensive discussion was here last month: Unknown Mozilla dev addon "Looking Glass 1.0.3" on browser | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15931730 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15931730 Firefox is on a slippery slope | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15940144 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15940144 I hope that HN's 'downvote to disagree' squad doesn't reduce your collection of random internet points too severely! I personally try to upvote every comment worth replying to. I would love to see the ratio of upvotes to downvotes & number of 'flags' associated with each account as kind of a 'degree of genuine participation' indicator. PS. It's not the mods... 'ain't nobody got time for that!'
