Okay, look. Chromium’s monopoly is definitely a concern. But Firefox is also not the answer here.

In a way, you are giving Firefox leeway to do as they want since they are the only thing stopping Chromium’s monopoly. That’s equally wrong.

Use the better, more secure technology, until we have something better. Don’t use Firefox because it’s not Chromium - that’s definitely not healthy.

    Huh… mine has that, too. I feel like I haven’t given FF that permission. Maybe I loaded a map app at some point, but I don’t recall.

    I hope they’re not doing that maliciously.

      Thing is, I specifically deny every app unrestricted access to my location. I KNOW for a fact I denied it all permissions. When I cut FF location permission to “get fucked” I noticed it also had camera and mic unrestricted access. Also the in app telemetry options were all set to share with Mozilla. They also were not when I set it up…
