now I realize why I always thought GNOME software was so bad … their philosophy is the opposite of what I consider ”good computer”. they want a fixed set of features that the end user can’t change and that always treats their users like a baby.

I want malleable software that every user can change to fit their needs in a simple way.

There also doesn’t seem to be any GDPR-compliant notices when you open the profiler, the privacy statements redirects to Mozilla’s generic one which states:

> We may use cookies, clear GIFs, third-party web analytics, device information, and IP addresses for functionality and to better understand user interaction with our products, services, and communications.

So this is definitely not in line with GDPR and I’m considering reporting this.
