<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">But to me it does, so you should not discount my viewpoint as "building strawmen and then arguing how those strawmen will do bad things". And let me explain better:
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- at least in Europe, where I live, opt-out is not accepted as a valid form of user choice, and has not been (even legally) for over 20 years; only opt-in, and in many cases (e.g. newsletters) double opt-in, is considered acceptable;
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
- also, many users will have consciously selected their resolver in the operating system, so disregarding the OS configuration is disregarding their choice, and unnecessarily requiring them to do it again if they want to keep it;
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- moreover, and this is a problem with the whole protocol as it has been conceived, moving resolver configuration from the system into each application requires users to configure their intended resolver once per application rather than
once per device, i.e. 5-10-30 times rather than one. This is a significant UX design flaw in my opinion, and it does disempower users a lot, so it is the opposite of putting users in charge.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do not think that these are strawman arguments, or that they are artificial, or even that they are "personal" against Mozilla. I have nothing against Mozilla except taking issue with what they are doing on this matter.
