I personally thought they were implying that China could be a privacy concern

...and this is a good thing?

Haha nah probably not

I'd like to point out that they said nothing about it being a bad thing

I think it's pretty clear that that's exactly what they were implying. What is it that you think they meant by that?

And I agree with them. I also agree that it's not racist but anything Chinese is pretty much defacto-owned and operated by the CCP.

I'm fairly confident no one here is using Chrome.

Mostly for increased privacy but also additional features. Firefox and it's forks are usually relatively limited in feature set.

Speed isn't a problem on any of them for me.

If users knew about this stuff and understood it, Firefox would bounce back.

I wish that were true. But how long have companies like Google and Meta been tracking people? Ask anyone on the street if they think Google and Meta know everything about them and they'll say "yes but I don't care" or "yes but it's unavoidable". There's just no way people don't know by now what incredibly invasive corporations they are. They just don't care.

At least it's opt-in?

What do you think "autopilot" means?

Google funds Mozilla by paying to be Firefox's default search engine

Google funds Mozilla primarily to avoid the exact kind of legislation in this post; monopolies.

Google can point at Firefox and say "look, not only are there alternative browsers anyone can install, but we funded the independent development of that browser".

Not to mention all the Chromium-based browsers.

How long is it going to take for the pollution created by the material gathering, manufacture, and transport of the new EV to be offset by what you saved in fuel consumption?

~3.5 years

Those cars don't just disappear into thin air when your friend finishes with them. He's just making them more affordable and accessible to others.

It's a false dichotomy. You don't need to choose. None of them preserve your privacy.
