Check the wording. I said Mozilla, not Firefox.
I think Firefox is a great product and want it to succeed, but lately Mozilla has been burning its reputation by chasing the advertising and AI trends. Make no mistake, they are a for-profit company. That doesn't mean their products should be shunned, but they shouldn't be exempt from skepticism and rational distrust simply for being the lesser evil.
The European mind can't comprehend.
About ten years ago I met a group of American exchange students at some high school event. The city (in Europe obviously) had* the most incompetent, mismanaged, underdeveloped, dysfunctional public transit system I had ever seen... and the Americans had nothing but praise and adoration for it. I couldn't understand why, until I stumbled across Not Just Bikes and learned how fucking dire the situation is over there. The transit system is still the same, maybe worse, but this new perspective gave me a measure of appreciation. We're not quite as fucked.
