    Do you have to enable the feature first? Because I’m on v141 and I don’t see this feature. Complaining about a useless and draining feature that you yourself enabled is a special kind of stupid tbh.

      Bro, several users have taken to the Firefox subreddit, this is definitely worthy of being the most upvoted post on Lemmy rn

          There’s a lot of negativity from certain users/communities on software/services that are mostly good but have imperfections. I rarely if ever see any recommendations for alternatives that actually make sense when this happens.

          Firefox and Proton are two very common targets. Sure, they are both not perfect, but they are both offering a solution that does not enrich the current oppressive market leader and they do a pretty solid job at it.

          Yes, flaws deserve to be criticized, but there’s such a thing as too much.

          It’s tiring.

    I just wish one could donate to firefox development specifically. Then they could rid it of all the advertisement and tracking stuff.

          Non-profit isn’t the same as not-for-profit

          Take American Red Cross

          They make bank on blood donations. Also, they take in way more than they put out.

            This smells like BS.

            Is mozilla non-profit, not-for-profit, or for-profit?

            You dont really know do you.

            “I dont like mozilla so ill just assume they must be profiteering assholes somehow”

            “Its the vibe of the thing”

              I only use Firefox. I’ve only used Firefox since 2000.

              They, by their own statements, are a 501( C )3, which is a non-profit, not a not-for-profit.

              Sit down.

                You seem to be able to google “mozilla non profit” but unable to elucidate whether it is in fact a non-profit and why that is so.

                Again, you’re offering hand wavy vibe based explanations as to why mozilla is “bad”. What exactly is the problem?

                  I have worked for non-profits.

                  They are completely allowed to make a profit.

                  You are mistakenly under the impression that I’m against Mozilla.

                  If you go back to my original comment, I merely explained what I explained here. Mozilla is a non-profit, not a not-for-profit.

                  You decided to take that as an attack on Mozilla, for some strange reason, and attacked me. I just turned that same energy back on you.

                  Did I ever attack Mozilla? Did you attack me?
