Baker’s testimony shows that Mozilla depends so much on its deal with Google for revenue that “the biggest loser of a DOJ win in the Google case would be Mozilla.”

    So what if it didn’t use Bing at launch? It wasn’t privacy-focused then, either. I’m talking about the present, not the past. Even in their own FAQ they acknowledge that results are mostly Bing.

    Do you have a response to my point that the data is just going to different megacorp?

      Did you even bother to read most of my post? I literally acknowledged that most of their results are from Bing in it, and also pointed out that I would care if that was actually all they did.

      The actual point I was trying to make that you completely ignored is that I care about preventing the harm of information collection, not preventing anyone from learning anything out of pure spite.

      I don’t trust Microsoft as far as I could throw them, but being one of millions of people sending them information that has been anonymized before they receive it doesn’t actually harm anyone, so I don’t think it’s a bad thing. You can be privacy conscious without being completely paranoid and closed off from the world.
