Mozilla exec urges Firefox users ditch Google for Bing - GoFuckYourself.com

Very Interesting

Quote:

Asa Dotzler, Mozilla's director of community development, used his personal blog to urge Firefox users away from Google and to use Microsoft's search engine Bing, instead. Dotzler cited privacy concerns, specifically pointing to comments recently made by Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

"I think judgment matters," said Schmidt. "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." Dotzler then links to the Bing add-on for Firefox, stating that Bing's privacy policy is better than Google's (and notably fails to mention Yahoo at all).

Schmidt was talking about laws in the US, but the way he worded his beliefs did not sit well with privacy advocates?and a whole lot of other folks?including Dotzler. Microsoft has to respect the Patriot Act and other laws just as Google does, but after seeing Schmidt's comments, Dotzler decided that Firefox users need to be reminded of Bing's existence.

talk about biting the hand that feeds you, google has been lining mozilla pockets for a longtime. Wonder if just a little of the animosity stems from gains chrome is making.

I think the next year or two will prove interesting in the search engine wars.

gotta support the underdogs to keep the top dogs honest. i use bing and chrome as much as is convenient.

jigg · 12-11-2009, 05:30 PM

I switched, so far not bad
been using chrome for the last couple of months too, pretty much gave up on firefox and constant slowdowns, shoddy addons and what not
they were supposed to be lean and mean and the opposite of IE, now they just loaded up on features and fucked the browser up

cambaby · 12-11-2009, 06:40 PM

Chrome is highly exploitable and sends data back to Google about your browsing habits... Im just saying.

Cyber Fucker · 12-11-2009, 06:47 PM

I still use some ancient browsers and it feels good, Google soft will be the last I will install on my private computer

for the web testing purpose and surfing I got another computer

Ummm, whatever addons you use, stop... That's probably why the constant slowdowns and shit..

Don't blame Mozilla for some amateur programmer's shitty addon code..

FireFox has 1 flaw, Memory usage, and they are working on it...

I love how everyone says they don't like sharing information with Google, that's why they don't use Analytics or Webmaster Tools and other stuff by Google, yet they will use their browser that not only reports home, but has access to EVERYTHING you do on the internet, not just Google sites...

Im another user of Chrome after ditching FireFox, seems like every update they have, it gets worse and worse.

Seriously odd for them to come out against google.

WankWorld · 12-12-2009, 01:43 AM

Bing is trash, Google will always be my primary search engine.

bing needs to get relevant search results first

okny · 12-12-2009, 01:57 AM
