This same thread has people complaining how Firefox is funded by Google (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32258663).

But when they try to develop alternative funding mechanisms like this they also get attacked.

Their goal isn't anti-privacy, it's that they need alternate revenue sources. I'm fine with that.

>>> but you can turn it off, doh

Please don't misquote me. My parent post was polite and informative and to mischaracterise it ("doh") is unnecessary.

That's entirely besides the point.

That's sad.

Did not mean to but yes, I did and I apologize. Because that was rude of me to do so.
