Comment on Firefox lost users during “failed” Yahoo search deal, says Mozilla CEO
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 year agoSo what if it didn’t use Bing at launch? It wasn’t privacy-focused then, either. I’m talking about the present, not the past.
Do you have a response to my point that the data is just going to different megacorp?

Did you even bother to read most of my post? I literally acknowledged that most of their results are from Bing in it, and also pointed out that I would care if that was actually all they did.
The actual point I was trying to make that you completely ignored is that I care about preventing the harm of information collection, not preventing anyone from learning anything out of pure spite.
I don’t trust Microsoft as far as I could throw them, but being one of millions of people sending them information that has been anonymized before they receive it doesn’t actually harm anyone, so I don’t think it’s a bad thing. You can be privacy conscious without being completely paranoid and closed off from the world.
