I find it really interesting that when a company is making moves in a direction that benefits privacy of consumers, everyone takes the opportunity to shit on them for past mistakes or how it isn't good enough or why isn't it on by default or any other thing they can find to shit on.
Yes, every single company has made mistakes. FireFox is no exception. Some of them were pretty egregious. Mistakes are - hopefully - an opportunity to learn and adjust, move forward, and continue progress towards something we all want: privacy.
We should absolutely call out companies when they make mistakes or ill-advised choices. I'm not saying we shouldn't. However, we should also _applaud_ efforts that are in-line with bringing privacy to consumers. Not just spend all of our time looking for something negative to be outraged at.
This always-negative/outrage attitude just erodes any sort of meaningful discussion.
