I'm not sure I understand the criticism to my previous comment. If System1 would change any privacy aspects (which they won't) and I assume people are going to assume for worst case scenario - users would need to be notified. Then, System1 would lose all trust and no-one would use Waterfox.

But nothing has happened and people are just pointing fingers. Seems rather unreasonable. People had the same criticisms in 2014 when I received investment into Waterfox. The same sort actually and 6 years later...nothing had changed.
What I was saying is that this isn't a factor and that means we don't have any guarantee of good conduct. Because of that, we shouldn't trust that it will happen.
To be clear: I don't actually care all that much - I never expect a browser to be privacy-focused and I respect your right to want money to do the things you enjoy.
