@Notnotmike pretty well-known! also OKCupid started warning Mozilla users about it based on HTTP headers which was an interesting form of protest https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-26868536

I read about that in the article the other commenter posted! The article also mentioned that, once he was removed as CEO, some right-wing websites, namely something called “RedState”, just outright blocked FireFox users in a counter-protest.

“We wanted to remind people that the totalitarian impulse of the Mozilla corporation is real,” said right-wing site RedState on April 8 after blocking access by Firefox users.
