Chrome: unilaterally disables uBlock Origin

Mozilla response: mess around with Firefox's privacy notice in such a way that it generates _negative_ press

Potential future Chrome: gets bought by OpenAI

Estimated future Mozilla response: "every time a user installs Firefox, a healthy tree is chopped down, the wood is used to create bats with the user's name engraved on them, and the bats are used to hit endangered animals"

I love Firefox but Mozilla seems determined to self-sabotage itself. it is painful to watch

Mozilla will quite literally die if the demands of the judge get satisfied - https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/internet-policy/mozilla-....

So I guess the last resort for people who don't want to surrender to the Big Tech will be niche hard forks of Firefox, of which there are 3 - Pale Moon, Basilisk and SeaMonkey.
