Can This Web Be Saved? Mozilla Accepts DRM, and We All Lose

Anybody taking Snowden's revelations seriously would switch to Chrome or another Chromium build. The leaks contained information on exploited vulnerabilities in Firefox. Chrome's sandboxing makes it a safer browser than Firefox.

This is opposite the choice somebody would make if they were philosophically opposed to DRM.

Ok, let's say I agree with you - how many users switched to Chrome or Chromium following those allegations? Practically none. That proves the point, users don't seem to care about this.

(But I don't agree, that was just to make the larger point.)

are you kidding? all builds contain a dial-home to google. Why would you ever switch to something that contains that?

All Firefox builds contain a dial home to Mozilla. Both of these are user-controlled options.
