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.
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.
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.
This is Lemmy, and Mozilla is a corporation. There's bound to be some criticism here.
Cheers, mate. :)
Your feeling is incorrect. Post history is public if you care to confirm. ¯\(ツ)/¯
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.
You’re just being disingenuous.
