Well said. I think it’s been obvious for a while that there’s a trade off between convenience and privacy/security. Most people, even very intelligent friends and family, choose the former. I think it’s reinforced by a herd mentality. Nearly everyone else is using chrome, gmail, macOS, windows, etc, they feel validated in their choice.

As relative newbie #Linux @c0e59c9d user, I would like to remind other newbies that the #firefox 118.0.1 update did not immediately show in Pop Shop when I logged in this morning. I suggest using the command line:
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
```
