- hkt 5y agoFor the sake of argument.. isn't the fact that people can freely make those forks something of a guarantee around agency, and possibly also privacy? My guess is that because Mozilla is a hostage (and arguably antitrust human shield) of Google etc, it can't be too aggressive in its privacy approach, but it can at least not intentionally break privacy enhancing patchsets and features. Maybe I'm being too optimistic about them though.
- HKH2 5y agoChromium is open source. You can freely fork it too. There is a trade-off between privacy and convenience, and one between agency and simplicity. Mozilla is quite okay with pushing their own proprietary products and removing customization.
