The CEO was before CEO of Mozilla lmao, but stepped back, because the entire Internet hated Firefox, because of his political opinion.
Completely unrelated to "security" or "privacy".
Again, this has nothing to do with technical issue regarding privacy or security. People are just making excuses. Don't use it if you prefer something else, but don't mix non-relevant stuff or paranoia in a semi-technical discussion.
By the way, that's funny. In a similar way, I hope that you or other virtue-signaling people, don't buy stuff on Amazon (i.e., support them) as the are notoriously mistreating their warehouse workers. Yes, it's unrelated. I'm just point out a blatant hypocrisy.
"Private/secure" is in the title and has nothing to do with the political/social view of the CEO. Until abuse of power happens/is proven, there's no point in spreading FUD, fear-mongering and manipulation. As if FF and Mozilla didn't have their fair share of controversies as well...
Don't even bother replying, this is going to be my last comment in this thread (and probably in this sub, as I'm tired of discussion on "privacy-oriented" subs becoming paranoid every-fucking-time).
Good luck.
Yeah but it’s a great reason not to support them
