>For a long time, it was just setting the default search provider to Google in exchange for a beefy stipend.Later, paid links in your new tab page were added. Then, a proprietary service, Pocket, was bundled into the browser - not as an addon, but a hardcoded feature. In the past few days, we’ve discovered an advertisement in the form of browser extension was sideloaded into user browsers. Whoever is leading these decisions at Mozilla needs to be stopped.

First learn the difference between open source and free/libre software.
Secondly, if a dev and holder of the copyright (aka mozilla) wants to add a non-free SERVICE they can because the software that was added to firefox that links to pocket (the services that uses botnet software) isn't non-free software.

Firefox EME isn't even an implementation of EME in the first place, it's an API that allows a third party EME plugin to implement EME. To get EME into Firefox, you must first download and install an EME plugin (Mozilla doesn't have one of these), and then Firefox will make use of it. If you think about Adobe Flash and Java Webkit, these are not built into the browser but there is an API to allow these third party technologies to work through Firefox.

Are you retarded? Mozilla actually has a widevine.so specifically made for them by google, that it gets downloaded at runtime is a technicality for PR.

Modern graphic cards are complex machines that run proprietary firmware, which tells the OS that it is following its orders but actually prioritizes the DRM system.

Yes, sometimes updates will go badly and remove your profile (though most of the time it can be restored.)
No, Firefox does not update itself if you disable automatic updates or use an operating system with package management such as GNU, Android or BSD.
>here's the laundry list of shit you have to do to disable all the automatic connections, which most lemmings will take one look at and say fuck it. mozilla knows this.
All that can be disabled in the Settings GUI. All that is in the same section as a nice checklist. Except for Snippets which are disabled in the homepage, Firefox Sync which doesn't make a connection unless you log in and the Share Video thing which only sends shit locally anyway.
>you need to go back to the gas chamber rustfag.
Ow the edge.

>Gigi Sohn is the link
I can't find anything that says she's involved with MITI.
Of course Gigi Sohn, MITI (not because fact checking is a bad thing, but the centralised "just trust us, stupid goyim" approach to it is) and the Riseup funding makes Mozilla seem like a very disreputable organization, but I'd like to see some more evidence for the MITI-Soros link.

Except that's not the approach. So far all we know about Mozilla's Trust thing is that they will make a campaign to tell people they shouldn't believe everything they read online.
>and the Riseup funding makes Mozilla seem like a very disreputable organization
Why? Can you give a good reason why they shouldn't fund RiseUp?

But Palemoon is better now anyway, and the only choice for tab-happy browsing.

At this point is there ANY browser than isn't bullshit?, best options so far seems to be ungoogled-chromium or ridium, which might not be botnet but are still shit (chromium).

firecox is just shittier every time I use it. now the "new tab" page is a bunch of social media and shit instead of something sane like a blank page. like what the fuck, i don't want it connecting to anything unless I say so. The only reason I use this shoddy crap is so I can access by bank account to pay bills (ironically, the most insecure possible method is used to do the only one thing that normalfags require security for)

I have never experienced unwanted popups in the 10+ years I've been using Firefox. What are you doing?
