then why the fuck is this newsworthy? ugh. Why is there such a huge hateboner for firefox lately?
I really don't get it either.
It's not like it's a paid product either.
A lot of people would rather sit around and tear down the progress being made around them for being imperfect, than pitch in to help change things for the better.
Because they keep betraying their supposed values for short-term gains.
What is the gain? What is a single gain you think they have milked from their users?
Money for their executives
But nobody pays for Firefox? Do you mean the "recommended pages"? Because yeah that is a revenue source I guess, but as long as I can turn it off I can let it slide
They get money from Google, advertisements, and selling data. Did you think Mozilla made it without paying their employees and executives?
No, why would you think that? Of course they do
They got no gains from that only lost users
They got a lot of money by selling out their users. They are still getting a lot of money by selling out their users.
So money are gains? Just a slang? I thought you meant income
