Firefox now collects data for advertisers. It's not actually scary, but there is a bigger problem.

      I only found three posts, all in (at least) semi-relevant communities. I think my frontends of choice only show me one, then reference the others below as crossposts.

          I assumed your first comment was a complaint that they were posting in too many communities. I was disagreeing and presenting why I think that assessment would be incorrect, and sneakily trying to hint that you might want to consider a different app/frontend if this was bothering you.

            I’m not going to change my front end because somebody thinks that being annoyingly self-promotional is appropriate

              Yeah, you do you. I don’t think posting to three relevant communities is being annoyingly self-promotional, though. Two of them are literally just the same community in two different instances. Why, I find it weird there’s no post to !firefox@lemmy.world

    Wholeheartedly agree with TFA. People who claim Firefox should go all in and block everything and return no data to advertisers need to explain how Firefox should continue to fund development.
