@linuxxx I know you are FF fan. Might wanna be careful with their experimental features if you are using.

man... I like mr robot okay and all, but this is ridiculous... kind of unforgivable even. What's your browser of choice? I use chromium out of habit and years of syncing the bookmarks with it, but I certainly don't trust it anymore than firefox and always tell myself I'm going to find an alternative and set up my own bookmark sync service

@agaskins used to be chrome user and then switched to FF. Now I don't even know what to use. 😔

@Bitwise I am not a very privacy concern person. But I just found this whole "marketing campaign" as an ironic moronic result. They could have done something better.

Like how Spotify and Stranger Things worked together.

This really failed campaign aside, they force remote plugin installation even with it specifically deactivated an update before? thats real bad.

@JoshBent yes. From the article and reddit comments that's what I understood as well. 😓

@CurseMeSlowly wonder how long until that will get abused not by mozilla itself too.

Firefox is trash, Mr.Robot is trash.. only thing that’s changed is they’re being trash together..

Can someone link something with chromium doing something similar?
I just want to see if they have done something as shitty.

@sSam they probably don't need. Google based product is pretty enough. 😔

@CurseMeSlowly yes, because fanboying and hating is good enough argument.

@sSam I was joking. Hahaha. Chromium won't have such stunt because it is not a commercial product like Firefox or chrome and majority of browser users are not using it. If business and marketing people are not interested in a thing, it is safe to say that thing is free from any kind of scam.

But as a Google based product, they did have this kind of issue in past

@Condor I meant Firefox fanboys hating everything from google without any arguments.

Unless there's solid, *easy to understand/read* proof, I'm going to keep back at trusting a random source on the internet.

Next to that, I've read around a little and the part of pocket that runs within Firefox is open sourced under the GPL2 license.

This is so fucking stupid. Mozilla need to apologise and fire the morons who keep coming up with these ideas.

@Condor Hmm it's bad, I see now.

I'll keep using it since I believe that this was the work of some individuals and I think that Mozilla on itself wouldn't be a fan of those methods but I hope those persons get fired indeed.

Worrying. I love Firefox, and get that they need funding to operate at their scale... but do it with full transparency, giving users choice.

Icecat tends to be a good alternative if you want to browse safely (@linuxxx).
It runs behind on features, receives extra security patches from the debian team, all extra addons and non free stuff is removed, and contains some extra security features.

I am starting to doubt it was a work of spy from competitor company 🤔

@retnikt "- Opening the addons window reverts configuration changes which disable experiments"

lol what, it keeps getting worse.

Is this really true??
