these showed up after Jul 21 per GitHub “contribution activity” but are retroactively dated to 13 - they were probably private before that.
We may not see that full implementation is already worked on.

Now all we can do is convince as many people as we can to use firefox instead of putting up with this bullshit.
You mean the nonprofit company that is dependent completely on a contract with google to stay solvent? Ya, firefox will definitely never be pressured by google… Bruh

“One thing Mozilla does have going for it is a lot of money—more than $1 billion in cash reserves, according to its latest financial statement. The primary source of this capital is Google, which pays Mozilla to be the default search engine on the Firefox home page. Those payments, which started in 2005, have been increasing—up 50% over the past decade, to more than $450 million, even as the total number of Firefox users has plummeted. In 2021 these payments accounted for 83% of Mozilla’s revenue.”

It’s far too late for that, and it won’t work anyway.
Frankly, this is where regulators are supposed to step in. They won’t, but if it were working as it was intended to work, they’d have stepped in long before now.
This will probably be another case of the European Union having to save our (the U.S. and others) collective asses from corporate overreach.
With that mindset, nothing will ever get accomplished. As Louis Rossmann often says: We, the people, are who can change the culture and that’s what matters most.
The regulators are on their side… government is not your friend.
Waiting for government to act is a recipe for disaster. Governments react to angry people.
I am under no illusion the challenge we face, but I ain’t going to roll over, I will keep pushing. Give up if you want, but telling everyone to give up and you choose to become a stooge of the oppressors.
What, it was a bad idea to give control of how the Internet is rendered to an ad agency? Who could have seen this coming?
Well obviously it was fine because they had a secret motto not to be evil which is basically impossible to backtrack on.
Wait, what’s that? They backtracked once it was no longer profitable? 😲
Is that Google’s head of marketing in the photograph?
Well color me surprised.
Where’s the “in secret” part?
You mean because what they proof-of-concepted or drafted privately wasn’t publicly visible 8 days earlier?
I don’t get it.
