I haven’t kept up with all the news about this, so is there a definitive yes or no answer that Mozilla sells or even shares user information with partners such as Google? Google is paying Mozilla for something.

    Yesterday I searched for something using Firefox then seconds later I got a Google opinion reward notification asking me if I just searched for the thing I had just searched for. So probably yes

        I always use duck duck go. Like maybe I could have been high as shit and made a mistake but my default is duck duck go. I was super confused when I got the notification.

          Huh, that is really bizarre then, reminds me of the times where I’ll be chatting in discord about something and then get something related recommended in YT right after even though I can’t fathom how that would happen as the 2 aren’t connected in any way.
