  I agree they should have put the switch first but also dev is messy. At least you can about:config it. And even then your data isn’t being sold out to anyone unless you use it.

  Hmm no

  Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.

  Thats the first paragraph from their mission statement here www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/

  Doesn’t say anything about environmentally friendly. Also I think this part “where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.”, and their stance on AI in their browser and it being opt in make sense. Some people want to use it. Let them have a safe and private way to use it. Maybe Mozilla can show how a privacy respecting AI experience can be. Wouldn’t that still be a net good?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes they are but also the general attitude and politics at play just don’t allow for anyone but a well established name to publish negative results and still be taken as a serious researcher.

  I agree a 100% about how valuable it is in reducing the search space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but then you get branded as the person that publishes negative results and that complicates things, and the politics around that. Its something only well established people in the field have the luxury of doing, unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense… But I need money to survive.

  I agree with you in that not scamming people ina valuable way to act. I guess I’m just burnt out and jaded at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Stallman report⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
