Mozilla announced a change to Firefox this week and people overreacted. So I made a video about exactly why this change means nothing and why these emotions are misplaced. Sit back and relax my nea...
This video lost me within the first one and a half minutes: I appreciate the creator being upfront about basically saying “I believe Mozilla is fundamentally good” because that basically ends the discussion for me. If you assume this conclusion, literally everything they have done can be written off using best-faith interpretations of their terms. All I know is I’ve seen plenty of people do the same thing with many of the other companies that are named as counterexamples, the “bad ones.” Most notably, Google.
I’m not going to watch the rest, but I hope that It doesn’t continue by saying things like “this legal document isn’t bad if you interpret Mozilla as having no ill intent.” And I will hope the creator does draw a line in the sand for when skepticism is finally acceptable…
Don’t bother commenting if you’re not even going to watch more than 10% of the video. You’re right that he has some bias, but he is aware of Mozilla’s flaws and presents some good points.
Per your recommendation, I wasted more time to discover I was correct.
4:22 “Mozilla has been one of the foremost advocates for online privacy and ethical advertisement technology”

11:50 “I’m willing to give Mozilla’s lawyers the benefit of the doubt”

And how much of the video did you watch, my friend?
I’m trying to figure out whether you told me to waste my time out of hypocrisy or malicious awareness.
