lnxw48a1: No, #Firefox, I do not want to enable #DOH through #CloudFlare. That's why I intentionally disabled it when an update enabled it. Stop asking me after updates whether I'd like to turn it on. Eventually I will set up my own DOH ( DNS over HTTP ) server, but until that time, I don't want it enabled.

musicman: fair point. The side-project vs project distinction is not really important. What is important is whether resources are being used properly and the article makes a convincing point that they have not. I pretty much use #Firefox 100% these days. Safari and Firefox are all I have installed on the primary machine. As long as I am working from home, work machine is going to be prim https://nu.federati.net/notice/3335829

lnxw48a1: @musicman I agree about exec pay. As for side projects, in their new, limited-resource world, every new project takes resources away from #Firefox, #Thunderbird, and #Rust. Sometimes that's worth the cost, sometimes it isn't, but take a look at how many projects they've abandoned (such as their mobile OS).
