Knowing nothing of the particulars, I emphatically agree. This past month I have twice disabled ads that circumvent my ad-blocker placed on my homepage by Mozilla labeled as a fucking “experiment.” It’s mind blowing to me that leadership there is so lost and without a paddle they’re putting ads directly in my face without asking. It’s a huge violation of trust and honestly has made me start to regret supporting Firefox and Mozilla all these years.
Mozilla literally goes around preaching bullshit about a safer web, acting like they give a fuck, when I’m reality they’re as eager as anyone to sell you out. It’s disgusting behavior.
I truly don’t want to move back to a Chromium based browser (I hate using Chrome), but they have maybe one more chance before I’m forced to. At least if I’m using Chromium, I can assume my browser is hostile and leaking information instead of assuming it’s trustworthy when it’s clearly not.
Whoever is at Mozilla that approves of this kind of stuff should leave. You’re doing the world a disservice and likely harming the future of the free internet. If that’s the CEO, then by all means, please let the door hit you on the way out as it slams shut.
- joombaga 5y agoWhy wouldn't you switch to a Firefox derivative or other Gecko-based browser?
- atatatat 5y agoBecause that shows as Firefox market share to webservers, further perpetuating the "people still use Firefox" myth that's being clung to by people who haven't studied the big picture state of browser security in a while.
