- teddyh 8y agoI stand corrected. Of course, “twice ever” is still a lot less frequent than “keeps doing it all the time”.
- sjapkee 8y agoIt's already compromised. Who cares how much times it was?
- sjwright 8y agoAnd if they implemented these "features" as part of the core browser update rather than as an extension, it would have been okay? There may be a legitimate debate worth having here, but basing the complaint on the good code hygiene practised by Mozilla's developers is silly. These so-called "compromises" were nothing in any practical sense. Meanwhile, every web page you visit leaks the fact of your existence a hundred different ways and 99% of us don't care much.
