That’s true, of course, but there’s a difference between paying and being exploited.
If they want this product to be profitable, then cheating by giving users something that steals their information is not the way.
Crowdfunding is good, donates are good, paid software is good even. Or paid services for free and FOSS software.
One of the reasons paying for software is not very popular is because it was historically kinda hard to just pay on a website. But now people do that all the time.
Why? It’s a gift. One can clean it of unwanted features and use it.
Or if it’s not a gift, they should make it clear.
Cheating is bad. Being gifted a thing and then told some bullshit how you now need to give your blood to Devil to show your gratitude, you should just say “fuck off” and get on with your life.
I’ve seen multiple times that checkboxes get checked again after updates, it’s easier to switch and forget about it.
I don’t think it will be the last time Mozilla gets shady.
So don’t use Firefox.
That’s right…use librewolf or mullvad browser or arkenfox…
If FF acts like this and the rest follow, well let’s pitch and get another one going.
Either way, if people want Foss software, we will need to pay for it.
