It's possible, maybe not very likely but possible. Depends what happens to FF.

You don't have a high opinion of the LibreWolf team.

Did you know that I can still use a web browser from the last decade to surf websites? Yup.

Even if FF dies, the codebase is opensource and continue to be developed.

Because people do not care for privacy and freedom of press/freedom of speech, Assange will be prosecuted, sentenced and our liberties from that day hence forth curtailed.

Freedom of speech and privacy will be viewed as an act of sedition

No. You see the abundant food choices in developed countries and yet only a small percentage of the population is vegetarian or vegan.

The reason why people choose a vegetarian/vegan diet is also varied and sometimes has nothing to do with wanting to stop the suffering of animals. Losing weight, a healthier body, peer group pressure are alternate motivations.

The decisive factor is not poverty.

I was also in the Philippines, and I was able to eat quite well for my 3 months there. I ate rice, beans, fruits and vegetables. My costs were the same as a local.

How can you hurt/eat any animal if you care about the suffering of all living entities?

What you are describing is a type of isolated compassion but it is relegated to homo-sapiens, it is not a universal compassion of which i am referring to, to which the Buddha refers to.

Compassion is sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it. This is the dictionary definition.

This is essentially just referring to people's distress, of which you witnessed. Empathy.

However, compassion is more complicated and detailed. "In Buddhism, the ideal of practice is to selflessly act to alleviate suffering wherever it appears." Note, wherever it appears, not just humans, everything.

Suffering and compassion go hand in hand. If you see any suffering of any creature, you want to alleviate it.

In The Essence of the Heart Sutra, His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote,

    "According to Buddhism, compassion is an aspiration, a state of mind, wanting others to be free from suffering. It's not passive — it's not empathy alone — but rather an empathetic altruism that actively strives to free others from suffering. Genuine compassion must have both wisdom and lovingkindness. That is to say, one must understand the nature of the suffering from which we wish to free others (this is wisdom), and one must experience deep intimacy and empathy with other sentient beings (this is lovingkindness)." 

Therefore, I will stand by my point; that real compassion, real empathy to alleviate the suffering of any sentient creature will manifest itself in the form of vegetarianism/veganism. How can someone hurt another creature when they know it will suffer, when they understand the nature of the pain it will experience?

Still not convinced? I can tell. Don't take my word. Listen to Master Thich Nhat Hanh explain:

no because Tor browser bills itself as privacy orientated. Sending any kind of telemetry data compromised that.

Telemetry data is made up of two data sets: interaction data and technical data.

Interaction data includes information about your interactions with Firefox such as number of open tabs and windows, number of webpages visited, number and type of installed Firefox Add-ons and session length, as well as Firefox features offered by Mozilla or our partners such as interaction with Firefox search features and search partner referrals.

Technical data includes information about your Firefox version and language, device operating system and hardware configuration, memory, basic information about crashes and errors, outcome of automated processes like updates and safebrowsing. When Firefox sends data to us, your IP address is temporarily collected as part of our server logs.

I think it's good that people become aware of their dietary hypocrisy in their lives.

Not many animals are treated more cruelly than pigs raised for food consumption with the exception of chickens perhaps.

The problem is that culturally around the world, all kinds of animals end up on dinner plates that are unacceptable to other cultures.

There is no right or wrong. The only solution is compassion for other animals suffering, and then making a conscious choice.

If a person is really compassionate, they will not eat any animals. Until then, articles like this highlight the hypocrisy but that alone is not enough to enable change within human society on a whole.

BTW, it is established that we do not need to eat meat to survive. People choose to eat meat because they like the taste, not for any other reason.

Can someone please explain to me, why in the name of all things holy, Tor browser on Android has telemetry tracking enabled???

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/org.torproj...

"The Telemetry feature provides this capability by sending performance and usage info to Mozilla. As you use Firefox, Telemetry measures and collects non-personal information, such as performance, hardware, usage and customizations. It then sends this information to Mozilla on a daily basis and we use it to improve Firefox. "

Why is this not disabled in a supposed privacy browser?

I wonder what the fine print of their new contract stipulates in terms of publishing freedoms....

Very nice of the NSA to provide. BTW, anyone who downloaded this pdf has voluntarily provided their IP address to them

This is akin to Germany going 100% green power with zero carbon emissions while China is building a new coal power station every other week.

It's good, but in terms of global impact it means very little

That's great to hear. I would love to run Manjaro also but i can't download 400Mb per day.

If they provided a semi-rolling release, now that would be something i'd be interested in

Endeavour OS had some turbulence recently with their devs, but in terms of pros, i don't think there is much difference, personally Manjaro seems to have more support, so if you get stuck, your chances of help may be better

If you want latest bleeding edge support, install Arch or one its more friendly variants such as Manjaro. They provide updates everyday.

One thing to note, as Manjaro is a rolling distro, don't be surprised to download about 400Mb per day in updates

Will it mean a reduction in price? Since Lenovo is not paying for the Windows license fee for those laptops?

Average Joe doesn't care about their erosion of privacy, infact, they will applaud this decision because privacy is used by criminals and underground pedos in their opinion.

Remember, Average Joe is quiet happy to use privacy invasive products like Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Yahoo, Skype etc etc because it is convenient. Choosing privacy friendly alternatives is bothersome and complicated for them.

Privacy will now be viewed as a criminal act of sedition

People switched to Linux to get away from Microsoft, so it makes perfect sense to me that these same people will now use a Microsoft browser that violates their privacy .....

My two cents as to why FF usage is tanking. When you visit the FF website, you are told in essence, that FF is a privacy product:

-No backdoors for advertisers -DNS over HTTPS -Do what you do online.Firefox Browser isn’t watching -Protect your privacy

So for all intense purposes, people get the impression that this product protects one's privacy, but, this is not the case.

For their android app, there are 4 embedded trackers that violate your privacy:

-google admob -adjust -google firebase analytics -leanplum

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/org.mozilla...

Also included inside Firefox is their telemetry data.

In their desktop app, the telemetry data is enabled by default as is their studies option and their default search engine is Google.

So, what they project in terms of being a privacy focused browser is a lie.

Perhaps people are catching onto their bllsht and switching to real privacy focused browsers.
