So my bad, I didn’t clock the PPA abbreviation being about the experimental adtech bullshit they pulled.
But I feel like my point still stands. Claims that Mozilla is harvesting user data should be (relatively) easily proven by audits of the source code. Disproving things tends to be harder, and I’m not the person making the claim.
I’m not “gatekeeping” shit. I’m saying that bold claims should have facts backing them up, and so far I’ve not been shown anything to back it up.

You appear to have strong feelings about this, so I was hoping you had more than specious claims based entirely off a major gaffe.
I’m not saying that Firefox and Mozilla should get trust by default. I’m saying that if they are doing shit as heinous as what you claimed, there should be evidence that can be pointed to.

Apology accepted.
Crazy how Mozilla has done so much stuff that people just forgot
