0x815Firefox Browser Blocks Anti-Censorship Add-Ons at Russia’s Request
cm0002Wow, wtf Firefox? Not even Chrome is blocking some of the add-ons…
Guess enshittification is starting to creep into Firefox now too
God I’m getting sick of that word.
DarkGamerI'm sick of the concept it represents.
Besides, this instance isn’t even enshittification anyway.
Enshittification is when a company makes the user experience worse to squeeze more money out of them. This is just government regulation.
Cloudless ☼Still Mozzila Corporation seem to be trying to earn more money by staying in the Russian market.
That’s a stretch.
Not really, they’re a for profit company with very little market share and as a result very little wiggle room to, say, be banned from an entire market region
They’re protecting profits over people like so many other companies do. Mozilla Firefox is no savior, they’ll protect their profits just like any other.
Protecting profits isn’t the same as trying to squeeze more profits. If companies were enacting bad policy out of legitimate concern for their business (as is the case here), it wouldn’t necessarily be an issue.
