Google is probably Mozilla biggest "customer" so I'm not surprised if Mozilla is ok with whatever Google is doing.

Yes they pretend to be the champions of Privacy and Open Web...

Okay then use the web browser developed by Google.

Or use a Blink based web browser whose development is steered by Google.

Not sure how this counters my point at all. Mozilla wants to eat his cake (we are the champions of Privacy) and have it (yes the most Privacy destroying corporation on Earth is funding us so we never mention them anywhere as if they are not involved in what we do).

Completely, utterly hypocritical. I'm sorry if you are blind to it.

Unfortunately it costs a lot of money to develop a modern browser and your only alternative browser developer which isn't an ad company, isn't dependent on ad company money and didn't base its browser on one developed by an ad company is Apple.

Doesn't the Midori browser use Webkit?
Re:Mozilla’s 18-month effort to market without Facebook by ekianjo on Friday October 18, 2019 @11:42PM (#21296641)
So what? Webkit does not have GOogle tracking.

It does.

If you want a browser that's free of all of that, there's always lynx.

Of course, you have to give up a few things to use it...

There's the middle ground of using Firefox and wishing the Mozilla Corporation wasn't full of hypocrites.
Re:Mozilla’s 18-month effort to market without Facebook by kbenson on Thursday October 17, 2019 @04:29PM (#21286059)
Or there's the actual middle ground of using Firefox and trying to get more information on why something is the way it is and understanding what's going when something looks wrong to you rather than making assumptions and using that to label people hypocrites.

If you know something, feel free to say so. Otherwise you're just one more person on the internet spreading FUD instead of knowledge about one more company. We have enough of that already, don't we?

Or use Pale Moon, where yes, the devs can be difficult, but they're also right more often than not.
