I don't get why you needed to mention this, when the story became viral before Brendan Eich communicated it.

Do you feel that people misunderstood that, in fact, Mozilla does intend to sell user data?

Note that I'm still using and advocating for Firefox, I just found this offtopic attack odd.

I thought his attack on Firefox was a little unbecoming, while also forgetting to mention that he's a competitor (and his product is not free).

Mozilla is apparently run by corporate drones who made a blunder (as drones do). It happens. They corrected it. No need to attack or dismiss Firefox in general. Firefox is excellent.

Your attacking me on false grounds as if doing so defends what Mozilla did is the only unbecoming thing I can see here.

I'm a founder of Mozilla (not latecomer or looter). The McKinseyites now running it into the ground deserve criticism from me as well as others who see what is going on. If you don't want to see it, keep using Firefox. Their terms and privacy policy changes still stink, they are integrating Anonym, and they're turning things on by default that we at Brave do not.

Try engaging with the substance of the arguments, not attacking the person making them.

> They corrected it.

Well, if by "corrected" you mean "acknowledged that the public perception of the change was correct", then I agree.

That said, I agree that Firefox is still the least worst option.
