Hi, after following the discussion for a couple of months, I have decided to pulish a security warning concerning Firefox sync.
http://stefan.gofferje.net/it-stuff/blog/170-security-warning-firefox-force-upgrade-to-new-sync-system-imminent In my opinion, it's absolute unacceptable and not understandable, given the recent past's many privacy scandals, that Firefox is forcing users to upgrade to a system which effectively makes using the Mozilla infrastructure mandatory. Encryption is no argument here because any encryption can be broken and it's simply a matter of principle. Through this actions, the Mozilla Foundation has moved itself onto the same level as Google, Apple, facebook and other well known megacorps which continuosly try coerce users into using their infrastructure to get access to their data. I will personally stop using all Mozilla products and make sure that they are also not used anymore in my professional area of influence. Kind regards / ystävällisin terveisin, Stefan Gofferje ______________________________________ Haukantie 2 B 5 FIN-37600 Valkeakoski Suomi / Finland GSM: +358 (41) 7290730 Aus Deutschland: (02151) 7476231 http://stefan.gofferje.net/ mailto: [email protected] This email is signed with a qualified certificate according to the Finnish Act on Digital Signatures (14/2003) and the Finnish Act on Strong Electronic Identification and Electronic Signatures (617/2009) as well as EU directive 1999/93/EC and EU Commission decision 2003/511/EC.
