Imagine throwing your whole privacy away because of a single niche issue.

EDIT: this whole thread is havy astroturfed by brave shills. This post was at +8 and went down to -1 in 10 Minutes

Can you please read the rest of this thread and then come back and tell me how you can support a company like that?

Easy: I don't chose my products based on political alignments of the manufacturer. Do you ask your baker for their political views before buying bread? Do you ask your barber? Why should I suddenly care when it comes to software?

I do. I do not put an Alexa in my house as that company can not be trusted. I do not buy food from certain companies as they can not trusted. I do not install software on my system from companies that can not be trusted, have a shitty track record. I vote with my wallet.

I'm not throwing all my privacy away.

Just some of it.

But it's pretty easy to get me back on Firefox.
