🔗 Guess What Apple Paid to “Buy” the Firefox Extension for iCloud Keychain (Erlend / havn.blog):

“But now Apple has managed to scrape together the cash to build one themselves??"

Not quite… Apple reached out to Aurélien, through Mozilla, to ask if Apple could simply get the code of the unofficial plugin. (Source)

“Ah, so instead of starting from scratch, they instead bought a good starting-point. Smart."

Well, not quite…

The developer asked for a $1 GitHub sponsorship in recognition of the “sale”. Apparently, it’s been crickets.

Gross, Apple, your cheapness is showing.
