Been saying Mozilla is headed downhill for a year now.

Always catch a ton of downvotes.

Still my daily driver. But I'm ready to jump ship.

It's not Mozilla's CEO that's doing anything shady here, it's a partner company, OneRep.

Edit: And Mozilla is breaking up with OneRep because of it. (Just in case someone had missed that part.)

Breaking up before or after they were doing business with OneRep? Because they should have caught this before any of their customers ever paid for it.

Jump to what? Another Chromium based browser?

I’ve come to the conclusion that Lemmy is a dumpster fire filled with terminally online nerds living in their mom’s basement. It’s even worse than Reddit.

Like Mozilla offered a paid service designed to protect your privacy that just made your privacy worse than if you did nothing at all, and these NEETs want you to think it’s okay because they fired the company after the damage was already done.

And you’ll get mass downvotes for saying that’s a shitty thing to do.

Totally agree. Lemmy is actually worse than Reddit. And yeah obviously Mozilla should take heat for this. I don't get why people get so butt hurt when people make valid criticisms. Most of the "people" here seem to just parrot the same narrative. So much for the fediverse being less agitprop, spam filled garbage
