Can you spell out what you are implying here?
Is it that the people posting in this thread are.. authors or stakeholders of malicious extensions? Do they all work for Mozilla? Are they a part of some rival industry which stands to benefit from the fall of adtech? Have they shorted GOOG?
Surely it would be strange to class arguments from users who want to continue to block ads in their browsers the same, effective way that they have been for years as motivated reasoning. What sinister motivation am I missing?
- wffurr 7y agoFor whatever reason they all seem determined to put Google in the worst possible light and ignore any arguments to the contrary. I can't speak to the motivation other than "hate Google".
- jddj 7y agoIf you consider your own reasons (which only you are privy to) for supporting Google's actions in this case, you might find that you're stretching to meet a narrative. And sure, they might be too, but we can't really claim that fairly without peeking inside their minds. All we really know is that they are annoyed that Google is neutering an extension which they like to use, which makes enough sense that speculation on their motivations isn't really justified.
