They get pretty close sometimes. I respect their mojo, but I don't install vanilla Firefox anymore. On anything. For any reason. I don't trust them anymore.

I wish them the best, if I could donate directly to Firefox development I would, but it's impossible with them. So I don't. I donate to mullvad, I donate to the Tor project, and I donate to servo. That's what I can do to make sure we maintain an open and free web

The blog post is pretty recent but the version he's talking about is 57 ! I'm confused, is this the ESR version ?

This is an old issue, I was just linking to it to reference why I have friendly relations with Firefox but I doubt they're intentions, or at least I consider them an ally but one that needs to be double checked.

The date on that post is clearly wrong. Maybe they got some weird content management system that's updating the date and correctly or they made an edit or something
