Can anyone provide more context on this event? Is it not odd that Mozilla would call on Apple to "increase user privacy" when one of Mozilla's main(most important?) partners is Google which is the very antithesis of user privacy?
Then further down the post states"

While I applaud these efforts I'm curious how does Mozilla reconcile taking hundreds of millions of dollars from Google while taking this principled stance on Apple? This seems to be a bit of cognitive dissonance.
