Seriously, if you put Mozilla in the same box as Google, Microsoft and Apple, then you are ignoring company culture completely.
Yes, I want a big privacy oriented, non profit organization with strong engineering practices to handle my passwords. This is not Google, Microsoft or Apple.
I only wish Mozilla wasn't American due to the insane laws about "national security".
- drdaeman 8y agoI'd love to be wrong about this, but I don't see them as privacy oriented - only marketed as such. Mozilla made it harder for me to handle my passwords. In their effort to not lose market share and to market themselves as ecosystem rather than a browser vendor, they did horrible things to their password storage. Sync1.1 was tolerable. Accounts+Sync1.5 is an abomination. It's bloated beyond reason, full of weird protocols and formats mixed in odd ways. I'm not even remotely a strong engineer but I can't call what Mozilla made there "good engineering". And I spent some time writing my own implementation of Accounts and Sync, so I believe I can assure myself my opinion is not completely baseless but relies on some first-hand experience (my crappy code is not good engineering - but neither I claim it such)
