Google: Let’s put DRM in the browser, hijack the address bar, webmanifest

Omg, firefox screwed me over by showing me an ad.

I see. I think no further illustration needed.

Textbook whataboutism. Google is objectively evil, what that has to do with Firefox, my "user agent", showing me Disney ads?

Textbook idiocy. Whataboutism is not a phallacy when the discussion is about comparing things.

I have to ask... did you deliberately spell it "phallacy" because you mentioned 'comparing things'??

No comment :)

When you choose to continue using the browser from the "objectively evil" company, helping them continue to push those objectively evil goals, because "firefox showed me A ad", because for some reason that is more screwing over your users than literally fucking the open internet....

It's astounding how far people bend over backwards just to not change browsers for the good of the internet as a whole.

"Yeah I could stop hanging out with a serial baby stabber, but the other guy once said my hat was funny, so that's terrible and I will stay with the baby stabber"

I choose to use Firefox, for more than a decade. It does not mean I am a happy user, and it does not mean that I can't complain about Mozilla being shittifed year after year.
