Had it saved on my hard drive for years and recently re-discovered it. Seems to be from 2011 (!!)

Google is getting worse by the year, but it seems even back then some people were already seeing where things were going.

From my understanding, this is from setting Google as the default search engine.

Honestly, I don’t blame them for taking it. The Mozilla corporation has done a lot of good for the modern internet.

Agreed. It’s a shit system that needs reform or we all die, but for not it’s all about lesser evils

I worry about many of Firefox’s decisions (they’ve been going off script worryingly frequently), but funding the org with this one concession seems acceptable to me

they’re also using Google location services instead of Mozilla ones by default (this only matters if you have disabled native os geolocation service)
