    Now there’s that print monitor that’s on by default, and can only be shut up by using a command line. Wtf? In the 21st century?

    Lemme get your russian immigrant wife to setup that VR headset for you, so that you can disable any process you like like it’s Jarvis

    Edit: Care to point to my wrongs?

    I understand. Just saw some similarities and thought of the worst. I repeat: I trust Mozilla (non-profit) muuuuuch more than I trust Google (for-profit), for example, but still not enough to exclude doubt. I personally like this quality in me, but I can see how, sometimes, it may lead to a misunderstanding like this post right here. Just wanted to have some external opinion on this, and make people who didn’t notice it notice it.

    Been writing these from Librewolf all along. I am in no way against progress. Instead, I am simply taking it like handles of a pot on a stove - not sure if it’s red hot or pleasantly warm. I am indescribably glad that extensions will no longer, knowingly or unknowingly, watch porn with me, but you can’t ignore the fact that, sometimes, things introduced, as awesome as they may seem, may not be used how God intended them. I’m sure Mozilla have all the best intentions regarding this, but, as I wouldn’t trust a stranger with a pocket knife (a tool that can be used as a weapon), I won’t trust Mozilla not to abuse this feature. I apologize once again for being hyperbolic and theatrical in my original post - that’s just how I write. I’ve been using Firefox, including forks, since forever and won’t abandon them just for a suspicion. As I said, I will be watching this thing grow hoping that this suspicion of mine will remain just that.

    I apologize. I might have been a little theatrical. If I could send you an audio comment, I would, because then you’d hear my calm and reasoning voice telling you that they may or may not do something bad and/or stupid with it. I assume you wouldn’t blindly trust such a big entity, and would rather doubt everything it says (without being too maniacal) and then compare it to its future actions. That’s what I was inviting you to do - observe its future actions.
