Having a look at your comment history myself, I see that you are very polite and willing to accept good-faith corrections, like the one I originally made…

So the fact you doubled down on your incorrect comment really says a lot.

A for-profit that wrapped itself in a non-profit shell that is empty and just run by the for-profit?

Look harder, I believe it’s in developer settings.

But is IS nightly, this sort of thing is to be expected right

Still waiting for you to fix your grossly blatant lie which claims that Mozilla simply took a W3C proposal rather than crafting it with one of the most unethical companies on the planet.

Not only did you lie in an attempt to launder Mozilla’s behavior through the W3C, but your lie was also used as an attack, not just some random innocent comment.

Depending how deep you are into using the service, this might be an indicator to start shopping around for other options, as there are some that provide multiple domains and unlimited aliases for the cool price of $0 versus whatever Proton charges you…

…Especially if iCloud makes the other side of the equation difficult.

This is an okay starting point, but hopefully they make it optional and configurable.

They could learn from Vivaldi.

I take issue with anyone who misleads others, as you were doing. You should feel ashamed of yourself, you should correct your comment at a bare minimum, and you should consider an apology to those you have misled.

So you admit you are being dishonest now, because your original statement was

They’ve taken a W3C proposal and implemented it. It’s that simple.

You need to go back to your original comment and correct your wrong portrayal of Mozilla and the W3C. You need to name Mozilla and Facebook as collaborators in the creation of the standard, and consider apologizing to the people you misled.

The Mozilla Foundation is a thin wrapper for the Mozilla Corporation, and it’s run by the executives themselves.

Please explain to me how sending additional data from your private computer to Mozilla servers gives me more privacy and not less.

The proposal was created by Facebook developers with Mozilla, and laundered through the W3C.

Please update your claim.

Except there’s already a slough of those browsers.

Every other corporation has implemented the same AI chatbot features, and made it look prettier. I thought Mozilla was supposed to be beyond that, better than following the herd.

If you look at the Mozilla community forums before they announced the AI feature, nobody was asking for it.

In fact, Reddit posts from earlier months leaned in the opposite direction, with people thankful that Mozilla had not injected unethical AI into Firefox.

What would it take Mozilla to do, to break your trust?

To move out of the least-worst option position.

Does that mean that you trust it, or just that you will continue using it because you need a browser?

Because to me, there’s a big gulf between a company that hasn’t broken your trust and a company that makes the minimum viable product that you need to use daily.

Hmm.

Let’s not.

What would it take Mozilla to do, to break your trust?

For example, what if they sold private data? Or, if that is not extreme enough, what if they sold private data to advertising companies? Stuff like geolocation.

Imagine seeing this message too late and losing access to all your emails.

Unpopular opinion, but I use Firefox because I care about privacy and the spirit of the Mozilla manifesto, and this new enabled-by-default advertisement feature snuck into the browser is at odds with both.

Mozilla never even gave their users a warning in their browser, which is even worse than how Chrome handles it (also enabled by default, but they at least included a notification with a corpo-speak justification that includes similar language about “options” and “privacy”.

Remember to disable the new “Ad Measurement” data collection, everybody!

It was auto-enabled for me. What about you?
