Post Text

Seriously, every post I read that's upvoted is smack talking Mozilla in every way possible and it just so happens to take place exactly when Google quietly announces Manifest V3. Mozilla is not our enemy, Google is. Don't let all these bot upvoted comments and posts let you forget that. Has Mozilla made some questionable moves lately? Yeah.. the biggest being the purchase of Anonym. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-anonym-raising-the-bar-for-privacy-preserving-digital-advertising/

We'll just have to wait and see how that turns out. But I found it amusing when I saw this post and it got so many upvotes immediately after Mozilla announced the purchase. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1dkujuh/mozilla_anonym_is_a_datahoovering_monster/

Then Mozilla allegedly fired someone because he has cancer. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/mozilla-is-trying-to-push-me-out-because-i-have-cancer-cpo-says-in-bombshell-lawsuit/ar-BB1oOjOZ

Then I was reading Mozilla android browser is suddenly the worst and least secure android browser.

It's never ending.. Honestly I think I am just going to take some time away from Reddit because it's becoming such a corporate shill and bot upvoted cesspool. I'm sure this will get heavily down-voted but I just wanted to give my two cents. Mozilla will always be my preferred choice for privacy and security and unless I see some actual changes within the browsers no one will ever convince me otherwise.

I don't trust Reddit anymore, and to my knowledge Mozilla has always put user rights before corporate greed. Also Mozilla is a sort of non profit. So you're gonna need more than anecdotes to change my mind.

Mozilla acquiring an ad company is something of a bad sign though.

The BBC is a respected broadcaster in the UK that shows no ads as it is government funded. They have investments abroad that have ads showing their programs, for profit to fund more programming. It doesn't change their mission. In fact, some shows have cone from their for-profit division. You can have values and be for the people but still live on the real world.

HAHAHAHAH are you fucking seriously comparing a company with free overhead to one that doesn't? Fuck thst might take the cake for the dumbest shit I've seen all day.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

You do of course realise that despite the name, it is not a company?

When you rudely try to correct someone, but are inaccurate, you make yourself look like even dumber than what you complain about.
