Can someone cue (or is it queue? que?) me in on what all the fuzz is this time around? I feel like I hear a pitchfork mob at least once a year without actually noticing anything different.
Just for the record: I'm not claiming that there's much ado about nothing, merely that I am severely out of the loop as usual.
Firefox is the biggest non-chromium browser competitor, and was an advocate of privacy and not selling user data
But they recently did a 180, started selling user data, and are now shoving FF full of AI bloatware nobody wants
So the userbase is feeling very betrayed
Wait, selling user data? What did I miss?

Removing "no we will never sell your data" from your Q/A page is not a good look
Their argument is “we’re not selling your data, we’re selling our data about you.”
AFAIK an exaggeration. They are promoting "privacy respecting ad metrics".
It's not an exaggeration
They are selling user data for profit. It's anonymized sure, but it's still selling user data
Oh. So they are. Thanks.
Nothing in that post proofs that they sell any user data?
The new CEO has said he wants to turn Firefox into a "modern day AI browser"
He also said he doesn’t want to but they could make $150m/year by blocking ad blockers.
I get that he said he doesn’t want to, but that really should have been a non starter train of thought.
"Clue me in" is the idiom. ~~Que~~ Cue is closer than queue, if you were an actor and needed a hint on where to go next.
A cue is a marker point, usually for media production. It can be used in several contexts.
Queue would be a line, more or less.
I'm being reductive, of course. Just trying to help people who are too lazy to Google or look at a dictionary.
Queue is also the playing stick used in billiards Edit: Queue
In French, yes. In English, it's a pool cue.
It probably originates from French
They should probably speak French if they're going to use the French term.
¿Que?
it's "clue" me in on. But "cue" does make sense, from an "eggcorn" perspective. It's not the phrase, but it makes sense.
It's also "fuss" not "fuzz" but like no biggie, most people can pick up meanings from context clues.
