I’m just acknowledging the reality.

There is now a very nice summary comment from worik elsewhere in the thread, but basically end-users are no longer the same from Canonical’s perspective and so it’s probably wise to thank them for good things they did and move on.

These companies need to be reminded that users are the sina qua non condition for any customer whatsoever, and that their disinterested to hostile attitude towards users is a poison pill for them. "Users aren't the customer" is tired corporate-speak for "I want to be an a*hole", and needs to die.

As to Canonical, the only reason I use FF anyways is because it is the lesser evil. They are far from stellar with their constant attempts to inject invasive monetizers into the browser.
