Strike 1,2,3,4,5...
Why doesn't Mozilla just stick to giving us a browser that works and give us back the Legacy extensions that did work instead of doing subversive moves such adding this obscure "Looking Glass" addon? https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/15/mo...ut-permission/ |

With just this one incident, I wouldn't be too quick to judge Firefox.
Yes, this wasn't a good thing to do. Installing anything against the users' wish isn't right. But, just this one incident won't change my view. Firefox has always been quite good in terms of privacy. Others have done much worse.

They issued an explanation and apology;
https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/upd...ing-glass-add/ I checked, but never got the add-on installed. I'm assuming that you'd have to opt-in to Shield Studies (in settings) to have had this happen? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/shield The issued apology is probably Public Relations nonsense (my opinion) but at least they made one, unlike others, as Anupam mentioned. The Cliqz thing is a different matter though, but to think that none of the big browsers (even Mozilla ones) are not collecting some form of data from you is just a dream these days. They all do it. |
