Yes, that’s right. The perfect way to operate is to have complete ideological purity. As a matter of fact, it is embarrassing that Firefox even runs on Windows (a closed source operating system that has integrated telemetry) and dare I say that perhaps Intel processors are unacceptable too?

Firefox should only run on completely open source and open firmware open architectures. Anything less is tantamount to endorsing crimes against mankind.

I am currently preparing a breadboard and expect to be completed with my port by 2042. I am going to have to sift for metals in my local stream in order to create resistors that were manufactured by pure provenance.

Currently uncertain about my own personal lineage, though. Have I had an unkind ancestor who did not believe in open source? Is it ethical for me to participate given such a taint? Questions of great import. I will consult a pure institutional review board before proceeding.

These same people would then complain that Firefox's market share is abysmal.
There's a large difference between running on top of a platform built by an ideologically-opposed organization, and actively aiding an ideologically-opposed organization with marketing agreements.
