What is the point of using anything Mozilla if it's just going to do the same shit as the services we keep trying to avoid, only worse?
Mozilla has fallen, it is no longer focused on privacy. I get that companies need money to operate, but there are alternatives to just poking holes to be profitable (while calling yourself "not-for-profit").
Everything under the Mozilla umbrella is questionable, at best.
OK, I'll bite. How?
I fail to understand the question mark at the end of your sentence.
Winblows 10 did the exact same bitlocker crap to my best friend and attorney.
I don't need this app to know flightradar is a risk.
We're team "fuck no!". Welcome to paradise.
That's what I ended up doing. I don't want any of that shit in my daily driver.
My case is the other way around. I look for software in the store, and if I can't find it, then I install from the terminal, but I always update (and remove) from terminal. I'm a diehard Gnome user, but this will certainly make me move to something else.
Now, in flatpak's defense, it's great to keep browsers away from my system, as well as some other inconsequential apps that have no business integrating with my system. I like flatpak's for these use cases. Everything else, I need my RPMs.
For example, Apple has cared about their developers as customers.
Only if by "customers" you are referring to how they constantly find new ways to fuck you over.
You're absolutely right. Chrome is the worst offender, no question about that.
I'm guessing that the requirements for a PR job with Mozilla say "removed people preferred".
