It's worth remembering any discussion you see about Russian tech topics right now is almost certainly influenced by paid Russian propaganda agents. Here's two news articles that may provide more carefully edited context. https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-98-0-1-has-one-big-change-remove-yandex-and-mail-ru-as-custom-offerings/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-98-0-1-has-one-big-cha... https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/mozilla-firefox-removes-russia-based-search-engine-yandex-from-settings-amid-ukraine-war-articleshow.html https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-cris...

Do you mean that the discussion here could be paid Russian propaganda, or that this post is? I’m not sure how a link to the Mozilla bug tracker could be taken out of context.

  I mean some of the comments here, and in the Bugzilla discussions, and in any other discussion you read online. I am not trying to call out any specific comment here, nor the original post, which is barely about Yandex at all.

It’s also worth remembering that any Russian tech topics are influenced by paid American propaganda agents. What is the point exactly? Argument should be made on their merits not based on who is making them.

tell me why we should not think you are an American propaganda created by weapon lobby who wants war to last longer and supply NATO with everything they need and make huge profits? I know Russia started war, but it is very difficult to make conclusions at this point, everyone will tell other side "propaganda", "brainwashed"
