    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/

      You keep posting things that agree with me. I don’t think you understand that.

      The only way to find a contradiction is to find new articles that trumpet their ad blocking capabilities, not old ones from years ago.

      Do you understand, years ago?

        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.

          Mozilla started selling private data to advertising companies in 2023.

          Mozilla became an advertising company in June, 2024.

          Isn’t it curious that they’ve suddenly become much less outspoken about ad blocking after 2022?

            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?

                It’s about their FakeSpot subsidiary.

                  I wasn’t thinking about that one, although it is hilarious Mozilla thinks it can claim it isn’t scraping private data by using a business collaborator as an intermediary.
