Yeah this whole “backlash” was absolutely idiotic, like a prime example of people deciding to get mad about shit they have absolutely no understanding of. Dunno if it was a purposeful campaign or just garden-variety stupidity

Nope. Already switched to librewolf. They’ve eroded trust and are still selling data, but they just don’t call it that. There was likely a group of people that reviewed and signed off on the initial release. They would have to be insanely dumb to not realize they’re would be significant backlash, yet still pushed it through. I think it’s because they were hoping it wouldn’t be as bad as it was and they’d get away with it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
