Does anyone else find it strange that threads on Mozilla articles submitted to HN are filled with privacy-absolutists while articles about Google/Chromium are disproportionately commented on by Google apologists?

Are there two radically divergent subsets of HN users who hardly comment on articles about the other major browser?

I think the difference is how they position themselves. Mozilla claims to fight for you and keep your data safe, Google claims to be an advertising company.

It would be like if McDonald's sold an "all beef burger" that contained no actual beef, or if the Impossible Burger was found to contain any beef at all.

Could possibly be brigading by Google (or whoever).

Maybe? I'm not that conspiracy-minded, but it's weird comparing the comments in this thread, to say, this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18595069
