    I’m a bit worried about where Mozilla is heading with this, but not really for my own sake.

    I got into this whole thing because of my hatred of being advertised at. The privacy aspect is less of a concern for me, although I do appreciate it.

    I threw my lot in with BigG around Gingerbread and it’s too late now. I’ve turned off a much as I can in the last year or so, but G has everything I need and use.

    This would concern me more if I was younger. My teenage children are very savvy with it all. We talked last weekend about setting up Proton mail and using temporary emails for everything. I can see a Linux future for them and that’s very reassuring. They are beginning to understand the nature of online privacy and how it relates to humanity.

    But as long as I’m able to block ads, that’s good enough for me. I’ll move to Librewolf etc if I have to, but if Firefox keeps working I’m not going worry too much.

    Those of you young enough and/or that it makes a difference to, I wholeheartedly encourage to be as privacy orientated as possible. The world is going to need you.
