No, I don't. Two things:
- Your browser already makes "your internet" different than mine. You will see different different content and (at stores) pricing in Chrome than you do Firefox on a bunch of major sites. Try it, it is pretty obvious.
- Second, the article is specifically referring to Facebook's "algorithm". This is frustrating, because we can't talk knowledgeably about what they actually did after Jan 6. But why anyone assumes the "more conflict" slider is somehow "more honest" is beyond me - it is a black box whose function feeds Facebook money. They were not tuning for honest before, and they weren't after. But of course, they were talking about FB, not their own product.
Now, can you name specific concerns about what you fear FF might do with their browser to start gaslighting you?
- secondcoming 4y agoI don't work at Mozilla so I don't know what these 'tools' are that they want to enable by default. That's my point. Do you know?
- thomastjeffery 4y agoThat's because such tools do not exist. If they ever choose to make some, they would certainly be very public about it.
- MerelyMortal 4y agoDo you know which browser websites usually show the lower prices for? I know they'll show higher prices for people on a Mac and lower prices for people on Linux.
- _jal 4y agoMy most recent example was a low-end Unifi camera, which was $85-something in Safari/MacOS, $65-something in FF/MacOS at Amazon.
- MerelyMortal 4y agoInteresting that you saw Amazon apparently doing that. Thank you for the data point.
