Comcast, Mozilla strike privacy deal to encrypt DNS lookups in Firefox

Respectfully, Comcast has an ATROCIOUS privacy record. Full stop. A quick search came up with [1] [2] [3].

Your employer actively and repeatedly abuses the privacy and trust of its customers. It also lobbies for damaging policies.

I do not trust Comcast. Firefox associating itself with Comcast makes me trust Firefox significantly less.

To be sure, jlivingood isn't just some enterprise grunt with an opinion, but VP of Technology Policy & Standards.

Do you have a link for this? This is a pretty big difference in disclosure.
