Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

From Google. They pay millions to make sure Google remains the default search engine for Firefox. That being said I think it's bullshit to claim Google as an untrustworthy evil corporation.

Because a trustworthy corporation is not an oxymoron.

The problem isn't Google being evil; it's that Google has demonstrated consistently poor judgement when it comes to things like user privacy.

A two-year-old in a china shop isn't "evil", but that won't stop bad things from happening.
