This is what companies that actually care about privacy do. People over profits

Edit: actually, I’m not quite that naive, there’s certainly a business motive here. Cut the dead weight before it drags you down. Still, a good move nonetheless

People over profit generally seems to be the best business practice anyways

This is fantastic. That said, Mozilla should really reconsider their own CEO too.
