It's one thing for social media or search engines to be changing their algorithm a bit to prioritize mainstream sites and reduce the ranking of Russian state news sites. That might still be a misguided decision, but at least it mostly falls within the normal mission of what a search engine is supposed to be. It feels deeply wrong with a browser getting involved in deciding what search engine a user chooses. A browser is supposed to be a dumb content viewer that renders what the user asks for. Imagine using a TV that switched the channel if you watched a show its manufacturer didn't approve of, or using a long-distance carrier that turned off your service if you said R-rated words. Mozilla has lost the plot.
