I think they were commenting on how people seem to be zealots for Firefox on Lemmy, despite having some (reasonable) flaws. Despite this news, I’d bet a lot of them will continue. Not a pro-Chrome stance by any means.
(I had to block the Firefox and Linux subs day 1 because of how much anti-Chrome/ anti-Windows I saw).
I think it’s more that the Firefox/Mozilla community is relatively small and has a self imposed echo chamber.
For example, when discussing mobile browsers on Android, it’s a fact that Chromium based ones have significantly better security then those based on Firefox for Android. It sucks, but it’s true.
Whenever that’s brought up, downvotes follow.
Whether, or not, that echo chamber is so large that includes Mozilla leadership, I can’t speak to. But I wouldn’t be surprised.
Have you read any of the other comments in this thread? Large numbers of people are gleefully dumping all over Mozilla, it’s the few who are trying to go against that narrative that are getting downvotes.
You enjoy your angry mob. I’ll enjoy having AI tools in my browser.
It’s funny. I’m using a different browser that gets shit on constantly on here despite being really solid. I always see posts on here about having to use addon ABC cause XYZ stopped working, or faking the browser to look like Chrome, so sites work with Firefox.
I just eat my popcorn, open my add-on free browser, and surf ad free and problem free. People here REALLY try to justify Firefox. It’s not a shit browser by any means, but damn do you have to tweak it to get it to run right.
Ditto. FF/Mozilla community (especially the /r/firefox mods), along with the nonsense changes to FF, are a big reason why I decided to leave FF after 20 years and use something else. At the moment, I couldn’t care less about Mozilla future.

It literally states it will be local only and not send data to third parties or even Mozilla. But go off.
