Who cares about Russia? They could just ignore Russia as a country
Why? Do Russians not deserve a good browser?
They ideally should be using Tor
I would say the people living there probably care. But sure let's just delete Firefox from an entire country because you don't like something Mozilla was forced to do. Good job.
I care about the people there. Same with any oppressive nation/state/province/etc. You can say Russia is a tyranny and you'd be correct, but don't forget that there are certainly people living there who don't agree with the regime -- and there are people actively being oppressed.
Surely you don't think there aren't any gay Russians, for example. Let's not throw out all the people who are victims of Russian oppression while we condemn the country itself.
