    It’s odd to me how this articleis being silenced/removed or downplayed by the entire tech community. It looks like people sinerely believe tha Mozilla can’t do no wrong or that Mozilla is above any judgment while other entities are being systematically (and hypocritically) attacked for personal matters (e.g., Brave’s CEO).

      Mozilla has positioned itself as a mostly pro-privacy organization, and appears to be one of a dwindling few web browser frameworks that do not intentionally cripple ad-blocking and tracker-blocking extensions.

      If the entire tech community is downplaying negative press of Mozzila, then perhaps that suggests that the tech community has a bias for pro-privacy groups.

      Is it really, then, such a surprise that this article is getting downplayed? It certainly seems like a bad omen for privacy-focused web client development, if the contents of the article are verified and eventually jeopardize the future of the Firefox project.

      It’s because the article reads like right wrong propaganda. If it was written better and not as opinionated it would get traction.
