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?


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?
