Long ago the US government wanted to put a "clipper chip" in everybody's computer. This chip would encrypted traffic (wasn't common at the time) but witih a backdoor so that law enforcement could see your data.
Later NIST recommended Dual_EC_DRBG encryption that suspiciously could have been constructed with a backdoor, and later evidence from Snowden indicated that it probably did have this backdoor.
Also the P curves (P-224, P-256, and P-384) were constructed with numbers that are unexplained and could weaken the algorithm if you know the secret of how those numbers were chosen.
Chrome and Firefox do not support ed25519 in TLS, but they do support the P-curves.
I suspect TLS isn't secure against the NSA unless both sides are using algorithms that the NSA can't break, which in the browser HTTP world is hardly possible.
ed25519 isn't the only algorithm with nothing up it's sleeve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing-up-my-sleeve_number) but it has become the most popular and is quite efficient.
In the rust world, if you control both endpoints, you can use a more trustworthy TLS like https://github.com/mikedilger/alt-tls If you don't control both endpoints, the TLS will probably fail to negotiate a secure algorithm.

And one of the more recent actions of the management of Mozilla (after Brendan Eich was ousted) was to cut development and engineering resources while redirecting funds to the new managements compensation plans plus focusing on useless fluff like user interface colour schemes and ancillary services like a mozilla fediverse instance (now dead, thankfully), mozilla vpn ( just mullvad with branding), and a "personal data scrubbing service" whose chief person was a person that used to own a data brokerage.
All while taking a huge glob og Google money every year.
But don't sweat it, Mozilla now has a new LOGO which somehow communicates their values and new found company focus to the users!
It all stinks to high heaven.

Hey lads, just dropping in 😅
Sadly, yes. Squeeze the little guy till he will accept a pittance with barely a whimper.
The wall street bankers and real estate lending companies are happy as ever. They will always make proceeds from the squeezing.
There was friction between Putnam and Six Feet Under vocalist Chris Barnes. According to Putnam's defunct website, Putnam and Josh Martin (Anal Cunt guitarist) went to a Six Feet Under show while they were touring for their first album to hand out fliers looking for a drummer. They heckled Barnes during the Six Feet Under set, with Putnam yelling "Ha ha! You got kicked out of Cannibal Corpse!" leading to an altercation between the three after Six Feet Under finished playing. The incident culminated with Six Feet Under's roadies ganging up on Putnam, while Martin grabbed Barnes' wrists, and ended when Barnes fled to his tour bus and hid there. Anal Cunt released the song "Chris Barnes Is a Pussy" on their 1999 album It Just Gets Worse in retaliation.[17]
Prior to his coma in 2004, Putnam overdosed on heroin in 1998. In a 2007 interview, he said: "In 1998 I was dead for 10 minutes from a heroin overdose. The EMT's used that stuff to revive people and it didn't work. They tried it a second time for the hell of it and it worked. All I remember was waking up in my kitchen having no idea where I was. On the way to the hospital, the EMT told me I was probably going to have brain damage the rest of my life. By the time I got to the hospital I was completely back to normal though. I didn't see any 'mystic visions' or anything that time either."[16]
But he continued the grindcore for over ten years though.
According to Eyehategod vocalist Mike Williams Putnam was a normal guy off-stage and very quiet and soft-spoken. Williams also stated that he used to call Putnam, whom he has known since 1988, long distance from the Chevron gas station that he worked at, so that all his calls would be charged to Chevron.[11]
In April 2010, Putnam announced that the new album was almost completed. The album was delayed due to Josh Martin being in jail (for a third time).
2008 was the 20th anniversary of the band, so Putnam celebrated it with several original lineup reunion shows with Tim Morse and Mike Mahan. By this point Linehan had yet again left the band, and Martin was again in jail.
It judt keeps going and going and going....
After a festival appearance in Norway in 2006, at which Putnam completely passed out on stage and was unconscious for the entire gig, both Kozik and Gillis quit the band.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In October 2004, Putnam went into a coma for nearly a month as a result of a drug overdose. Initially reported as a sleeping pill overdose for legal reasons, he later claimed it was a combination of alcohol, crack, heroin, and a bottle of sleeping pills. Doctors thought that even if he survived, he would suffer permanent serious brain damage and were intending to "pull the plug", before Putnam's mother intervened. Even after coming out of the coma, Putnam was now paralyzed and had sustained severe nerve damage, needing months of physical therapy to recover. For the first show that Anal Cunt played following this coma (with Eyehategod), Putnam had to remain seated in a chair throughout.[14][15]
You're not a real metal musician if you haven't OD'd on lots of drugs at least once.
