Opinion: Last week, Google announced that it is going to remove extensions using Manifest V2 from its Chrome extensions store at a very near time, and that

      but Mozilla itself doesn’t want to broach the topic.

      Again, a reminder that Mozilla plans to continue support for the Manifest Version 2 blocking WebRequest API (this API powers, for example, uBlock Origin) while simultaneously supporting Manifest Version 3.

      Source: https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2022/12/02/webextensions-mv3-webmidi-opensearch-pip-updates-and-more-these-weeks-in-firefox-issue-128/

      Years ago, Mozilla would explicitly call ad blocking a privacy feature, and proclaim it explicitly.

      Ahem! https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/ > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/adblocker/

      Cooking up conspiracy theory instead of research is easy, is not it?

          Source: 2022

          Incorrect, that’s actually from 2022 B.C.

          And your other page was 2018

          Correct, the snap of article from 2018 looks exactly identical to 2024 instance with ZERO modifications. Mozilla finally gave us on Privacy it seems, as no one bothered to update that page since 2018.

          Wait a sec, they also haven’t updated this article as well since 2020. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/compare/chrome/

              Yes, like publishing a new article every day just to prove their commitment to end-users’ privacy.

              Incremental updates to articles, hosted literally on home page, with details of newer privacy features is so old school.

              Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

                  Also not what I said.

                  Source: 2022 Hey look, years ago. And your other page was 2018.

                  Mozilla started selling private data to advertising companies in 2023

                  (Assuming this is about Pocket) Is it too much to expect from you to know the difference between aggregated non-PII data vs PII data?
