Comment on Zen browser had a backdoor enabled by default

The “backdoor” mentioned in a single reply is very different from the telemetry issue. github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927 was fixed a year ago.
I agree the telemetry should be either disabled or at the very least users should just get a config tab on first launch to opt out but the Lemmy submission is misleading and bordering on fake news.

According to github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/5947#issuec… one of the issues is that Mozilla’s telemetry remains enabled which (if happening in secret) is bad and also dumb because Mozilla can’t even use telemetry of a very different browser.

Either way…reading through this, this developer seems like an idiot.
He doesn’t really understand what the code he’s shipping is doing, he doesn’t want to listen to people or ask real questions. He gets defensive to even constructive criticism
Not who I want driving the project behind something as critical as my browser.
