I have 2 concerns:
-
I recently read the firefox Terms Of Use paragraph that people are posting which doesn’t sound nice in terms of privacy.
-
Back when Mozilla had their own Mastodon instance called mozilla.social, every time I signed in I would be blasted with trackers according to uBlock Origin.
I’m no expert in these things and I want to ask if anyone recommends that I switch away from Thunderbird Mail and if so, which open source email client? Thanks in advance.
This for-profit company saying that I am not the product doesn’t necessarily make it so, and it doesn’t explain what is the product or service being sold and to whom. And just as their Firefox counterpart changed their terms yesterday, they could change theirs tomorrow.
Mozilla hasn’t been moving in promising directions lately. Mozilla’s CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now
Edit to add: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/d459addab846d8144b61939b7f4310eb80c5470e
Without advertising money and alternate revenue streams there would be no Mozilla
What is the point of using anything Mozilla if it’s just going to do the same shit as the services we keep trying to avoid, only worse?
Mozilla has fallen, it is no longer focused on privacy. I get that companies need money to operate, but there are alternatives to just poking holes to be profitable (while calling yourself “not-for-profit”).
Everything under the Mozilla umbrella is questionable, at best.
Meanwhile chrome uploads a log of everything you do to google, and ad blockers don’t work anymore
You’re absolutely right. Chrome is the worst offender, no question about that.
I’m guessing that the requirements for a PR job with Mozilla say “removed people preferred”.
