Remember when #Firefox used to come with an integrated video calling service called Firefox Hello? gutkato_3c

Now they’re offering their users #Amazon giftcards in exchange for taking a survey over #Zoom. gutkato_malgaja

So you run non-free software in order to connect to an unethical service so you can go shopping at an unethical company. To be fair though, they also promote the alternative option of sending you money directly via an unethical payment processor. What can I say? Thanks for improving Firefox. gutkato_dikfingro_supren

God, can someone please finally take #Firefox out of the hands of #Mozilla and their damn "AI" bros?

When they started adding all of this nonsense I went into my about:config to explicitly set "browser.ml.enable" to "false", but apparently even doesn't save you, as the new "features" will just not give a damn. 🫠
