MODERATORS
Is this a shitpost? I'm confused as to how they'd verify if your accounts are compromised without knowing your basic info.
That's not the problem, the problem is whether we can actually trust Mozilla Monitor to not sell the same data you're trying to scrub.
Fair enough. I completely agree that the feature creep is concerning and aggravating. I think it comes down to them trying to grow adoption of the browser and services. Mozilla has like a 1% market share. I'll still use it over chrome or edge. At least we can disable all the bullshit in about:config or just not sign up for the extra services.
