I wish #Mozilla would have a clear and consistent direction, and commit to it. Discontinuing services like Mozilla Location Services (#MLS) is disappointing, and very google-like. IMHO developing privacy-respecting alternatives to existing commercial APIs should be precisely where their focus lies considering how quickly they’re loosing market share with #Firefox ... 🤷🏽♂️
[…] Developers and 3rd-party projects that use #MLS to detect a users’ location, such as the freedesktop.org location framework #GeoClue, which is used by apps like #GNOME Maps and Weather, have only a few months left to continue using the service.
