That's what I assumed. Thanks for confirming.

I know this happened a few years ago but would having a separate work profile through Shelter, Island, or Insular limit the app to only see those on the profile?

This is probably just to get around any data privacy laws left intact.

Did you uninstall through terminal or through the GUI? If through the GUI try using the command line.

There are over a hundred comments critical of Mozilla on that post.

Here's a follow up post. Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data

Over a 50 comments. I don't see any evidence of systematic downvoting.

Where do you see systematic downvoting?

Also what is your definition of systematic? Is 4 downvotes systematic to you?

Here is a link to said post in this community: Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic | Mozilla says it deleted promise because "sale of data" is defined broadly

The top post is critical of Mozilla has a 250 / 4 ratio. Where do you see systematic downvoting?

People criticize Mozilla all the time here. Look at the post about changing their privacy statement.

Good catch. That definitely looks like it should a trademark dispute. Releasing the Lynx framework would destroy the Lynx browser in SEO.

This is going to affect Firefox a lot more than it will affect Apple. At least Apple have options to shift money around. Firefox doesn't.

Yeah. He addresses it without much of a response.

And there's good arguments to be made that my hotspot is still trackable. Plus some of the apps I keep aren't great for privacy (like Duolingo, for example). Try as I might, there's only so much “harm reduction” I can do, and I could certainly get more protection by doing more. But as I've written about before, privacy is a spectrum, not a binary state of being.

He keeps a lot of crap that has user names and passwords. A VPN won't really help with those.

He also uses free public WiFi. It's probably okay since a lot of phones have randomized MAC addresses now but with facial recognition, they can easily attach that address with your identity.

I never thought to check my speed when I had a 56k modem. Interesting.

You are probably correct that I never got full speed.
