It's really less sinister than what most assume. Both of their products are fundamentally "produce the highest rate of conversion ad platform."
Is it a risk? Depends. I can say at least at this point Google isn't giving your deanonymized data to governments. You're still better off not giving them your data.
Anyone who has a Facebook account is batshit though. -
@SortOfTested Agreed.
Facebook...who really knows, they have lied to their partners, users, government...they do whatever. They have zero credibility, and history shows no limits on what they will do. -
They get millions of dollars from Google. It's what's keeping Mozilla going in a lot of ways.

@djsumdog Plus, the general public wants Google. It would be suicide for Firefox to change.

I got this recently on my Firefox update. The podcast talks about Surveillance Capitalism and sounds a good hearing but I really don't know on whose side is Mozilla because their browser default search engine is still Google. Its kind of hypocritically confusing.
