Some extensions have a verified/recommended by Mozilla seal of approval, so these extensions would be checked by a human to see that they comply.
Obviously they can't check every update of every extension in existence, but even just the above is an improvement and certainly not useless.
I don't think this could be enforced by the API without also seriously limiting what extensions can do, which people would go crazy about if they did.
No, but Amazon's are very often the cheapest by far, easiest to find used (since more are sold in the first place). On Prime days they're often very cheap.
I imagine most of the profit comes from buying/renting the books.
There was a lot of BS advertising not long ago about it being a web browser "for gamers", whatever that means.
Open source is the exception, and it's important to note that.
Now you may be thinking "well duh", but I've seen plenty of people, even fairly techy people, refuse to use good FOSS software because they think they're being monetised somehow and that because there's no ads, it must be from secret data theft.
Translation: influencers who wont say a bad thing about the product
They didn't even use an Xbox controller, they cheaped out and used an ancient Logitech clone
I dunno.
Multiple people in my friend group are aware of the issues with big tech companies.
But the second you bring up FOSS with them, or Linux gets mentioned, they either disengage completely or get angry. One of these people heads an IT department.
I don't know why they react that way. The weird part is, they'll happily use FOSS software like VLC or something Minecraft launcher. The second you say it's FOSS they actually seem less into the software, not more.
Adding an optional extra search engine isn't the end of the world.
They also have Google and Bing, which aren't nice either, yet nobody was doing this performative outrage over optional search engine inclusions before.
Oh he knows. But this lets him feel edgy and different
There are plenty of these, yes. But there are also plenty of consumer-grade GPUs being used for it too.
Firefox adding another search engine choice isn't really headline news to me but cool I guess, especially if it's another option that's not Google?
I'll continue using something else, though.
Nice addition!
