So as long as Mozilla doesn’t see a problem with Google and their business model, I’m calling bullshit on their caring for our privacy.
You can’t purport to care about privacy and then get into bed with the largest surveillance capitalist in the world.

PS. Regarding #2, you used to make > $300M/year from your previous deal with Google. (Mozilla is entirely funded by

Apparently not very much. https://www.cnet.com/news/firefox-maker-mozilla-we-dont-need-googles-money-anymore/ … AFAIK default search engine in Firefox now varies from country to country based on deals with a variety of search engines... e.g. Yandex in Russia, etc

That was before the current deal and only because they were being funded by other adtech. (Yahoo was giving them ~just under $400M/year.) All their funding comes from adtech companies and is obtained by tracking and profiling people.

Is this documented anywhere?

In their financial statements.

What? Google Analytics are part of the browser? Please tell me if I misunderstood you. -
Woah. Time to delete Firefox.

replace it with what? is
@Brave better? -
Safari w/
@betterblocker, or yes,@brave b/c they have every incentive to NOT sell out their users. Their business model is to secure the user; quite opposite of Google's. -
I noticed
@aral forked their repo - I wonder if he'd accept@AttentionToken for the work he does for cyborg rights :)

What other viable business model should they use? Doubt people will pay for a browser…

Mining cryptos client-side?
