I'm not trying to unilaterally defend the decision, it's just not going to make me personally switch browsers. From what I'm hearing a lot of the viable alternatives are forks of Firefox anyway.

Look up Twitch Ad Solutions, there's a github page where you can find a couple different options. The Alternate Twitch player another commentor mentioned is what I use because I like the adjustable chat and auto-collect bits feature

I haven't bought Burger King since they started running that annoying fucking whopper ad, literally what pushed me into finally installing uBlock

Do you have any sources about anonymized data being easy to de-anonymize? I've been hearing a lot of conflicting stuff regarding the policy change so I wanna make sure the information I'm getting is accurate. But yeah if Firefox implements more anti consumer policies like this I will probably be jumping ship.

me after creating an "issue" to let a developer know there's a bug I havent the slightest inclination of how to begin fixing

Am I the only one here who's pretty much okay with this? I do wish they'd clarify exactly what they mean by "Mozilla doesn't sell data about you (in the way that most people think about 'selling data')," but having my anonymized data sold so that Mozilla can continue to operate (combined with Firefox being the best browser I've used in terms of both performance and flexibility - ability to install add-ons from sources outside of the Mozilla store, for example) - seems like a worthy tradeoff to me.

They also have an option to opt-out of data collection, which I do wish was opt-in instead, but with the way every other mainstream browser operates I'm just happy the option is there at all. Let me know if there's something I'm missing here though.

I was just saying the other day it feels like he gets through all that needs to be said in the first half of the video and then spends the rest ranting/reiterating himself. But I think he has good talking points
