One thing is funding, keeeping independence, another is controlling
- scarface_74 3y agoThey get 80% of their funding from Google. Do you think they are going to change to a “privacy first” search engine? And Firefox already supports Google’s WideVine DRM https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm What makes you think they won’t support this?

- scarface_74 3y agoI think it’s kind of naive to think a company that gets 80% of its funding from Google is going to go out of its way to protect you from the same company or that it won’t implement the same proposed DRM standard when it already implemented the older one.
- lnxg33k1 3y agoBut if firefox is full of tech to prevent privacy leaks? They incorporated a vpn, strict mode, containers, third party cookie block, dnt, etc.. what the fucking hell are you talking about?
- scarface_74 3y agoThey are sending you to Google for searches. Everything else is irrelevant if you are concerned about Google getting information about you. If you think that Firefox won’t include DRM because of “freedum”, there is an existence proof that they will - they support WideVine. How can Firefox be “independent” of Google when 80% of their funding comes from Google?
