Really weak criticisms here, if you ask me.
- Mozilla moved my cheese one time and I’m still upset about it
- Mozilla also has a marketing department
- Mozilla also collects usage data in the same way that every other application with crash reporting does
Using Firefox even with the defaults unchanged is still way less of a piece of spyware than Chrome with the defaults unchanged. By default Chrome integrates with your Google login tying together a stupidly huge amount of data collection across a vast network of sites including two monopolies (YouTube and Google Search).
And yet somehow this non-profit organization that doesn’t own a search engine or social media service is a bad alternative.
