As always, wait year or two so drivers catch up.

》This situation reveals a recurring issue in how Mozilla communicates with its user base

Mozilla is very clear at its communication! They even got new leadership and rebranded recently! Their updated Privacy Policy is also very clear! Maybe they had not implement everything yet, but they are heading in clear direction. And real hammer will come in a few months, if they lose deal with Google!

At this point Mozilla is a toxic organization when it comes to privacy, something like Google with Chrome. Dismissing it as a "communication issue" is not sufficient! Waterfox needs clear separation from Mozilla!

To test my privacy I us a decoy! I play porn from Hunters laptop in a loop overnight. There are so many reasons it should be reported!

So far no problems.

But Mozilla said what they will do. They also had very expensive rebranding to support it! They are now activist AI company that wants to fight disinformation, censor people and sell ads.

Who cares? Mozilla does AI, they can do all procesing locally, and only report, if local model finds something "harmful". I will not allow some lobotomized tiny local AI model to decide I am a naci, and call police to SWAT my house. We know how it goes with face recognition!

Mozilla is an activist company, that wants to censor, and punish some groups of people. I am not going to give them access to my passwords, documents and emails, and play some stupid game of cat & mouse with firewall rules!

TV manufacturers can get away with such practices, because TVs are sold on deep discounts, and is easy to block network access (never plug ethernet). Browser has tons of free competition, and it is impossible to block network access!

》 Mozilla isn’t just another tech company — we’re a global crew of activists, technologists and builders, all working to keep the internet free, open and accessible.

》 “Mozilla isn’t your typical tech brand; it’s a trailblazing, activist organization in both its mission and its approach,”

I do not doubt they employ 750 people. I am saying they have tons of other projects. If you go throught their blog posts, Firefox has tiny fraction of posts.

In EU user can not legally give up ownership of their personal data, artwork, or intelectual property. "Giving license" is a legal workaround to get ownership.

But how much goes into firefox development? Maybe 2% of revenue like with Linux Fiundation and Linux kernel?

Mozilla is ads company, it does activism, outreach, it organizes Marxist conferences, management gets paid millions... Firefox development is just tiny fraction of what Mozilla does.

And frankly Wikipedia has the same overhead problem as Mozilla.
