@SuperDicq isnt the drama severely overblown anyways? im pretty sure they arent even selling to advertisers or even hoarding data.

@d4rkness@beige.party If Mozilla isn't selling to advertisers then why does Firefox already contain a bunch of add?

@SuperDicq it doesnt contain ads lmao

@d4rkness@beige.party Default Firefox actually contains ads and has done so for a long time. Most notably with "sponsored" links on the default new tab page. I'm not joking.

@SuperDicq those arent ads lmao and they dont make money off those

@d4rkness@beige.party What the hell are you talking about?

You think they put companies like Amazon, Temu and TUI in there because they like them?

It's because they give them money. This is the definition of adware.

@SuperDicq thats barely an ad and its really easy to disable it fully, also its only just links to websites and not anything crazy.

@d4rkness@beige.party Nobody wants this, but it is included in the software. Even though you may consider this a small inconvenience it still tells us that Mozilla does not put the user first.

@SuperDicq dude just turn off the sponsors in the fucking new page settings, its not that deep and its fucking non-intrusive sponsor links on what is an otherwise empty ass page anyways, its not a big deal lmao

@d4rkness@beige.party No, I use GNU IceCat instead because this browser actually follows the principles of the movement that maintains it.

@d4rkness@beige.party What is wrong with the ideals of the GNU project?

Do you think that proprietary software has a legitimate place in our society? Do you believe users should not be in charge of their own computing? If so, why?

@SuperDicq i think pedophilia and necrophilia are immoral, but those are the ideals of Richard Stallman who created GNU and still runs it lmao
