    Mozilla just doesn't come off as particularly credible. They talk a big game but then they waste no opportunity to live up to their values.

    Consider this: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/

    Even looking past how little it's actually saying, there are so many contradictions.

    * It's damn near impossible to disable telemetry in Firefox. It's very clear they're fighting to prevent you from doing this, as evidenced by the fact that there are options that sort of half-disable telemetry, but not all of it. Fully disabling telemetry requires navigating a minefield of dark patterns and obscure configuration dialogues. [1]

    * Firefox will use said connections to, without asking or telling you of this fact, change feature flags in the software you've installed on your computer. [2]

    * Firefox forces ads and third party integrations like Pocket onto its users. Time and time again. No respect for consent or user preferences. [3]
