On: Google is already pushing WEI into Chromium

Because you break the interest of showing ads from google search/adwords, to the interest of surfinh web freely of those who would work on chrome

Now google has both the need to show ads, and direct power on what people use to see those ads

How do you think the “Chrome company” would be funded?

How is Firefox funded today.

[lnxg33k1 → scarface_74]

Is Firefox consistently trying to find ways to show you ads? Are they working on technology that helps profiling you?

One thing is funding, keeeping independence, another is controlling

[scarface_74 → lnxg33k1]

They get 80% of their funding from Google. Do you think they are going to change to a “privacy first” search engine?

And Firefox already supports Google’s WideVine DRM

What makes you think they won’t support this?

Are you sealioning me?

[scarface_74 → lnxg33k1]

I think it’s kind of naive to think a company that gets 80% of its funding from Google is going to go out of its way to protect you from the same company or that it won’t implement the same proposed DRM standard when it already implemented the older one.

But if firefox is full of tech to prevent privacy leaks? They incorporated a vpn, strict mode, containers, third party cookie block, dnt, etc.. what the fucking hell are you talking about?

[scarface_74 → lnxg33k1]

They are sending you to Google for searches. Everything else is irrelevant if you are concerned about Google getting information about you.

If you think that Firefox won’t include DRM because of “freedum”, there is an existence proof that they will - they support WideVine.

How can Firefox be “independent” of Google when 80% of their funding comes from Google?
