If you don't believe Firefox Suggest is a thing: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-suggest-faq
Coinbase, the founder of Monero, and other experts disagree.
Firefox does not opt-in their users to inserting Firefox's own affiliate codes to coinbase, binance, or other crypto websites to get paid for traffic the way Brave did.
How is what Brave did any different than what firefox currently DOES?
Again, Firefox does not inject affiliate codes into URLs to get paid for referral traffic. I'm beginning to begin you have confirmation bias as a Brave apologist.
I can't address it if you refuse to provide a source to it (because it doesn't exist I suspect). You keep giving names with no sources even when you reply to a comment asking for such an analysis source.
I'll state again... what Firefox is DOING is the same exact thing as Brave did. Now sure how else I can state that. It is right in the Firefox Suggest FAQs.
they opt users into telemetry and “experiments” instead, and the entire business is almost entirely kept alive with funding from Google, despite claims to care about privacy.
All significantly worse issues compared to adding affiliate links to a few sites. Affiliate links don’t pay for traffic, they pay for new user acquisition or sales. It’s no different than sponsored tabs / cards in Mozilla today.
It's fascinating the loops that people are going through (it doesn't exist, if does exist it's not that bad, poisoning the well, etc.) to apologize for this scummy behavior by Brave.
Not sure how that's relevant unless you're going to try to poison the well with Coinbase too.
But yeah, what’s your Coinbase source? Everyone at Coinbase? Because BAT is still listed on Coinbase.
