I got a sinking feeling reading this comment and realizing how easily I could imagine myself in this situation (especially as a Mr. Robot fan). While I do agree that transparency and user control are Firefox's most vital components as an alternative to non-free browsers and any failures there are very concerning, I'm also extremely impressed with the Moz foundation in general and the quality of the quantum updates in particular. I don't think this incident alone is enough to irreversibly tarnish Mozilla's reputation, but it's good to know the issue is being taken seriously internally.
