also go to about:config and set extensions.pocket.enabled to false to disable the dumb pocket stuff also set security.enterprise_roots.enabled to true if you, say, have a fuckfest of internal certs preloaded on your work computer by default and quickly realize they are only loaded to the system and chrome and not firefox.

Microsoft if you use Outlook.com to read a non-MS mail account, its necessarily getting your mail on your behalf, and can basically do anything it wants with it in addition to showing it to you in your web browser even some of the non-web applications work that way, and talk to Microsofts intermediary server rather than connecting directly to yours

sure, microsoft servers store lots of user data. my observation is that there is and has been clear policy at microsoft regarding reading the content of email (and similar user data) to personalize advertising. microsoft doesn't do that. to be honest even google alleges they don't do that anymore -- although that seems mighty doubtful

I trust Microsoft about as much as Google in this I do generally trust that Microsoft has put in place measures to ensure user data is not accessible to employees, and I think I mostly trust Google to not allow employees to access user data (though I dont know if I would implicitly assume that theyve put technical measures in place to prevent it like I would with Microsoft, I feel like MS is way more CYA than Google after the antitrust investigation) but unless they actually come out and say theyre not scanning mail for advertising purposes, I wouldnt trust that they arent

it's honestly naive of the reality of cloud security considerations to suppose that any major cloud provider could possibly have no technical measures in place to limit employee access to user data. separately, google, like facebook, has a business model that's fundamentally incompatible with proper user privacy protections. at such companies the privacy team's job is to figure out how to violate user privacy while remaining in compliance with applicable regulations, and, when that's not possible, to ensure the right politicians are paid to fix the regulations.

mostly google is otherwise unavoidable. if microsoft were as suspect when it comes to handling the information they get, they are in this regard a tiny silo, where google has tentacles in literally every website. so using gmail adds some really fine details to an already huge and refined picture. still, if concerned one should of course use neither.

firefox is introducing a system to allow the browser devs to silently deploy site-specific "overrides" to users, which work by having the browser silently inject arbitrary CSS or JS into specific websites they're calling this system GoFaster sounds like a disaster waiting to happen
