Very unlikely - I am sure you can be identified too.

Either way it is ethically questionable.

Another example of how evil mozilla has become.

This is not bad - Mozilla employees can then be put in prison.

It's also one way to do away with mozilla.

It's not "kinda shitty" - it is an act of betrayal by mozilla.

The company once known to care about user privacy, now u-turned and works against you.

The sooner mozilla dies, the better. It has become evil - not as evil as google yet, but on its way towards more and more evilness.

Now mozilla totally lost it.

I realized a few months ago that mozilla is run by google drones, so it no longer surprises me that mozilla kills itself.

But the level of stupidity is amazing. I think the people who work there are deliberately recruited in regards to who is the better one at killing off mozilla.

I don't like the name.

For those who don't know german, Jaeger is "Jäger" is hunter/ranger. A somewhat neutral term in itself but there is also a slight, somewhat remote connection towards some part of the history ("Jagdstaffel" and what not). I have absolutely no idea if this has anything to do with it, mind you - but since the main authors appear to be in the USA, I find that very awkward. Why not just stick to some english name? That would seem a much better it. Or perhaps they think german names are awesome ... it's also weird when you see all the people write Jaeger rather Jäger...

Many twitch streamers prefer patreon.

I have no idea; just stating that I noticed it when watching some twitch events.

Yeah. They have now become dependent on external decision makers.

I wonder if we'll have to read notes such as "how patreon was once great" ... before a sell-out to some other company will happen.

However had, that being said, I applaude the guys who actually bootstrapped the whole thing. The 60 million is of course great, but I think that their INITIAL idea worked in practice, is much, much cooler than the 60 million they got.

Unfortunately I fear that Google has become too big for the whole world and will slurp up everything that can be a competition, just like they slurped up youtube too at one point in time. And we all know that money moves people, so there is that - github, patreon, twitch. Google has things to buy.

Pretty nice success story.

Unfortunately money changes the way how companies work - and often not to the better.

Well said. More monopoly control by a company that has already gotten way too big for the world to (want to) swallow.

But we did not have AMP until recently.

So OTHERS made a new decision for YOU - as the visitor.

Oh wow, I did not even notice this until you pointed it out.

So the solution is SO bad that the "amp" tag even becomes part of the URL?!

Now THAT is really weird ... well aside from me disliking AMP anyway, that ... hmmm. We can send people to the moon, probably soon elswhere but ... we have to denote that ... we use AMP by ... a appended string called 'amp'.

Google should be ashamed of this "engineering".

They moved most of their stuff away from AWS.

Who believes this?

It was, easily noticable by everyone, wanting to reduce the cost. Which is fine, everyone does so, so why not admit that it was the primary impetus?

I would not want to outsource control over any larger company that I were to run to other, even bigger companies.
