From my understanding, this is from setting Google as the default search engine.
Honestly, I don’t blame them for taking it. The Mozilla corporation has done a lot of good for the modern internet.
Agreed. It's a shit system that needs reform or we all die, but for not it's all about lesser evils
I worry about many of Firefox's decisions (they've been going off script worryingly frequently), but funding the org with this one concession seems acceptable to me
they're also using Google location services instead of Mozilla ones by default (this only matters if you have disabled native os geolocation service)
