What do you this k they're doing thats shady? the browser is open source go look at the telemetry and find an actual problem instead of being a schizo

Incorrect on all counts.

Yes even your link supports exactly what I said despite the article writer being a complete moron.

Have you ever seen a web browser, corporate or small, open or closed source, force you to accept a new privacy policy before continuing to use their product?

Did Mozilla really dispel the criticisms?

Do you personally attest to the belief that Mozilla has not worsened those policies in the last update?

Accepting a private policy is concerning? They've been very clear about what it entails and most of the accusations have been rebuked.

It really isn't, which is the concerning part.

They changed their browser into something that required clicking an Agree button on first install.

And apparently now they've altered the bargain further.

Firefox is the only browser that does this AFAIK.

So, what did they change?

Ok?

I've switched to Fennec as I don't use any of Mozilla's services.

The fools, that only stops East Asians.

security through stupidity

You know, I would have never guessed it was "4"; so, in a way, that's actually pretty secure 😉. /s

The source code to their random number generator was leaked earlier today:

https://xkcd.com/221/

They really should have used a prime number. 7 would have been a lot safer for everyone.

Apparently they were using the private key “4”

Fun fact one of the private keys is 4 and all of them are <256

yeah as much as I don't quite prefer the new look direction, I recognise that looks are important for some people to use a software. and if this brings more people to at least give firefox a try, I'll take it.

Ah I got a video of the ad and finally saw what you meant too!

I definitely enjoyed the presentation, at the very least they are definitely putting that visual design to good use

Definitely did. Just a bit of joking around. You know the trend I guess how it's boxes but the corners with aggressive radius that in a long narrow box like say, an address bar will look like two semicircles at either end. Aka sausages.

Like for example take your picture. Instead of the Download button still looks like boxes with rounded corners, just increase the radius until they become semicircles. There was plenty of short sausages in the Firefox video ad from what I recall.

I'm sorry did you say bouncing sausages?

I watched the video ad for the "watch and get orbs" portion. I obviously already using a fork. My flavor is zen. Anyways.

It is a weird ad. Like it highlights the good strengths of Firefox. Like the ad blocking. Of course I'm then slapped by it with their stupid AI switch that wouldn't be needed if it's not in Firefox in the first place. Them it dragged on with bouncy dancing semi sausage shapes. Idk I wasn't really paying attention I am a slave to getting the stupid orbs and dopamine

The ad feels like it can be cut in half and be as informational. And not include as much dancing sausages.

They can't? It supported 'enterprise policy' thingy for many years by deploying a single configuration file to target machines.

I'm very sceptical and disliked many recent news from Mozilla/Firefox.

But this sounds like a huge step in the right direction. I know many companies that can't use Firefox because they can't control it....
