This piece highlights the underlying problem, about which the specifics are just symptoms: the attitudes of Mozilla people. They have been outright dismissive, almost hostile - they think they know what's right, they think they "know better", they may even really believe they're doing pro-"privacy" stuff - but in the end, they're wearing blinders. For example, there's no reason in the world to change things in a way that's actively hostile to those who don't want those changes, yet version after version requires non-trivial amounts of work to figure out how to simply not change. Then they do things like aggregating all DNS for people in the US to one monopolistic company WITHOUT ASKING, because, they say, people don't know what's good for them. They only relented after lots of negative publicity, not after sitting and considering that not everyone trusts Cloudflare just because they say they're not evil. So it's the attitude that comes from design-by-fiat that has turned me off completely, and I see no evidence that anything is changing in any way that's good. To the contrary - I see more examples of making decisions without the slightest concern for technical discussion. I fear that declining market share will only strengthen their resolve to force things on their user base.
