Baker's Google-Funded Sabotage of Mozilla Firefox is Bad News for Tor/Onion (or Firefox-based Tor Browser) Users
THE Mozilla Corporation is going places. But not where Firefox users assume it is going.
What's happening to Firefox is sad and tragic. It didn't have to be that way...
It is also - inter alia - a sabotage of Web anonymity (Mozilla's VPN only added "Linux Ubuntu" support after it had exclusively targeted back-doored platforms)
Reminder: When Firefox is measured below 2% the American federal Web sites (also in other countries, in some it's under 2% already) will cease to support Gecko and only test with/for Chrome/Blink. What would Tor (browser) users do? Chromium is deeply compromised, privacy-wise.
It's not even a new problem, it was also known a decade ago.
More here with context.
Forking Chromium (proper fork) is nearly impossible because of release frequency and overall code size (same problem with Linux and systemd). Microsoft laid off a lot of Edge developers last year, but the media hardly mentioned it.
There seems to be a correlation between Firefox's collapse and the increase in Baker's salary.
Crocodile tears, damage of one's own doing (while paid by Google). █
