This is the last straw for me personally. At this point what Mozilla claims to do and what they actually do does not seem to match. They rally against Google etc, but then install and reinstall Pocket etc on updates, claim to support free speech, yet it's clear that they only want free speech for a particular group of political throught.. I'm switching.

I gave some thought to switching back when Eich "resigned".

In the end I decided that continuing to support Mozilla by using and advocating for Firefox was the lesser of two evils - the alternative being to surrender to a Web mono-culture.

The deciding factor for me was: what would harm free speech more?

1) a browser duopoly involving an org willing to chuck their CEO under a bus for legitimate but oppressive political donations, or

2) a browser monopoly owned by an advertising company?

In the end I decided (1) was the best bet. But I swear, Mozilla keeps me on my toes reconsidering it :)
