Mozilla's messaging over the past few years has always been perverted, all talk and no action.
They "care about your privacy", yet their tracking protection was for a long time whitelisting known malicious domains from trackers. Their telemetry implementation in the browser to this day does not comply with the GDPR as it's opt-out rather than opt-in.
The browser, despite being free, open-source and supposedly on your side (a purported user-agent), uses many user-hostile tactics typical of malicious closed-source software such as frequent nagging, bad/annoying defaults, etc.

- zx8080 3y ago> Mozilla's messaging over the past few years has always been perverted This is just a corporate PR (or enterprise bullshit). Nothing to do with reality. No one should ever trust corpirate PR in the same way other human beings are trusted. Because a company is not a human being. Although both __can__ speak similar language (of words and sentences). The difference is that the corporation is (almost) never held responsible for any words it outputs. It literally can say anything and get dry out of water later even for a complete bullshit.
