  Right side is obvious, but what is that about Mozilla?

    Probably the people—accurately—pointing out that Mozilla has also adopted Manifest V3 along with Google. Google is doing it to curtail (“kill”) ad blockers. Mozilla is also now in the advertising game, and secretly began a telemetry program which is opt-out only. And, given how we shouldn’t trust orgs with financial motive, very well could opt you back in with future updates exactly as Microsoft does.

    Plus, their current CEO has a history, and Mozilla as a whole faces dicey times ahead if their Daddy Google is forced to stop buying exclusivity deals by the U.S. government.

    So take your pick I guess.

      Mozilla also introduced opt-out tracking in their browser. Get LibreWolf folks..

      Per Mozilla’s blog post about adopting Manifest V3, they are, unlike Chrome, not blocking the API that lets uBlock Origin work.

      Did Mozilla signal any intention to phase out V2 though? It makes sense for them to support both, as a lot of extensions (that don’t rely on V2 features that are missing from V3) are going to be built for V3 now and if Mozilla wants to keep their extension store full. If they didn’t offer both versions, extensions developers might disregard Firefox as a platform because of its low usage share numbers if they had to maintain two different architectures.

  These things are nothing alike.

  Mozilla introducing opt out tracking is a legitimately concerning event and rightly triggered questions around Mozillas motives.

  “Manufacturing” is a very hot take. You could actually look into the complaints and valid criticisms before calling it “manufactured.” Just because you don’t agree with someone doesn’t mean that they don’t have valid reasoning. Come to reality

    valid criticisms

    Was? I saw someone say that Mozilla were implementing PPA so they could take a cut of all adverts that appear via the browser. It’s outrage for the sake of outrage. A bunch of people that run adblockers, whipping up a storm about something that doesn’t affect them, because God forbid an alternative to Chromium based browsers exist or some other stupid as shit idea. All hail the Internet purists. If it doesn’t benefit them directly, it has to be bad.

      Way to miss the point.

      Chromeos should suit you well.

      It is pretty much being forced on everyone. It is enabled by default and you need to know that you must disable it. It wasn’t asked for and doesn’t benefit me in the least. However, it is a privacy risk.

  ‘I don’t agree with the complaints, so they must be manufactured’
