Mozilla is rapidly becoming an ad company, so I’m not really confident in it long-term. See: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/improving-online-advertising/
Mozilla isn’t perfect, but compared to Google? I’ll choose them in a heartbeat.
Agreed, for sure. I’ll still call them out on their bad moves, though.
God I think the US elections have rotted my brain
They created a framework where companies can still run ads but not collect sensitive user data, it’s an attempt at a sustainable, privacy friendly internet that can still be profitable. They just did a shit job at explaining what they are attempting to do.
They’re just playing the role that their masters have given them. The “decision” was timed just perfectly in step with Google Execute Order 66’ing v2.
I feel like I see you posting this comment every time someone says FF.
I looked through about 3 months of their comments and didn’t see them post that link or comments about Mozilla being an ad company at all.
May have been someone else. I keep seeing a variation of this comment, enough to convince me that someone has an agenda.
This is Lemmy, and Mozilla is a corporation. There’s bound to be some criticism here.
It’s certainly not an original thought. Lemmy is full of ornery old nerds like me. I don’t think there’s an “agenda” besides not wanting to an organization I have long liked and supported go down a road we hate.
Cheers, mate. :)
Your feeling is incorrect. Post history is public if you care to confirm. ¯\(ツ)/¯
You’re just being disingenuous.
The end of chrome, if so.
You wish… Mark this word, normies will accept it.
Best to switch to Firefox anyways, or even better privacy enhanced LibreWolf
This project is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.
Shatter this monopoly.
