Please explain your claim that "Firefox has been compromised".

It goes back decades. For one, a couple years ago, after v56 their grand overhaul was complete shit, conforming to Google - in large part because Google has admitted infiltrating and holding back the open source Mozilla projects.

This video is just the last example of many.

I think it was /u/sawboss who was asking where FireFox sold out.

FINALLY THE SCAM RIPENS!!!

That's how Android started - free. Now if you want all the "good" features you have to buy into Google.

The "free" FireFox will become shitty and abandoned. Unless deviants resurrect it like old Reddit code.

Tricky bastards. It's totally misleading to show a privacy shield but not to do it for preferred partners. On a page with google and other trackers, the shield will show and you will think everything is blocked, but it was just the other trackers that got blocked.
