The NATO, which shouldn't be expanding eastwards, wants missiles in Ukraine pointing at Putin's face.

Given that it's known that power users disable telemetry, developers should not rely on telemetry alone when deciding to remove a feature. The opposite is spiting power users, and you can see how that's going for Mozilla.

I know how VAT works. If the government changes the VAT overnight then prices won't round to .99 until merchants (or Amazon themselves) change the base price again. I don't see the issue.

I suppose it's the same codebase as any other country's amazon, and there's a different VAT rate in every country.

I remember how much I freaked out when I found that that extension was installed. I had not installed it myself, the title and the description were pretty weird, there were no hits on Google (yet), etc. I thought that I had been hacked and that my browser data, including passwords, had been exfiltrated somewhere else. And all in the name of advertising for a telly show! This broke my trust with Mozilla forever and I haven't used Firefox ever since.

Google is a convenient scapegoat, but the current state of Firefox is 100% Mozilla's fault, and until you realise that you will be far away from a solution.

Certainly yes. You are fined. If you accumulate several fines, you will eventually be arrested. If you resist the arrest, you will find where the barrel of the gun is ;)
