There's already a location service for the browser you can turn on or off, this doesn't add any tracking that wasn't already there.

I swear every time Mozilla does anything people find some way to be negative about it.

I mean, Lemmy is pretty much mostly for curmudgeons if we're being honest. Or at least that's what non-cat posts feel like. Mozilla isn't even all that special.

But yeah, it's annoying. Just stop using the browser if you're that annoyed by it, and more importantly, stop letting us know about it! We know, you're upset. Go post on Twitter like the rest of the angry people do!

I mean I'm all for calling out companies pulling shady stuff, but it just loses it's value when you do it for every little thing no matter how innocuous it is.

It's not limited to Lemmy either, everyone compailed about their new simplified logo, thinking that the general Firefox brand logo would become the Firefox browser logo.
