And they had this revelation and newfound sense of caution immediately after their main source of income was jeopardized? And they made this change at the exact same time they started forcing users to give them a worldwide commercial license to everything you enter through Firefox? Sure, Jan.
Apple is already displacing Google’s monopoly.
…The reason being that they can’t legally claim they don’t sell your data.
