That seems a very aggressive response to a perfectly valid question in modern times. Google pays Mozilla tens of millions to be their default search provider. Companies use money to influence things to their benefit all the time.
edit: Another example was all the extensions that Kite bought out and had their service offering added to (which sent all your code back to Kite servers).
- jasondclinton 6y agoAsking someone if they are a shill is never "a perfectly valid question".
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoAnd responding like that is never a valid answer.
- kenperkins 6y agoI think it is a valid question when the defaults are google and there is a reasonable suggestion to not use google as the defaults in lieu of community or open-source options. When that question isn't answered (evaded) it's perfectly reasonable ask why.
- wtallis 6y ago> Asking someone if they are a shill is never "a perfectly valid question". It was more of a question whether there is a conflict of interest; "shill" is a more loaded term than what was used. And the answer was actually a qualified yes, so there was at least a sliver of validity to the question.
