Nearly a Year Later, Mozilla is Still Promoting One Rep
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity reported in mid-March 2024 that Onerep founder Dimitri Shelest also founded dozens of people-search companies, including the still-active data broker Nuwber, and Mozilla said it would stop bundling Onerep with Firefox and wind down the partnership. Nearly a year later, Mozilla continues to offer Onerep as the backend provider for Mozilla Monitor Plus, saying in October 2024 and again in February 2025 that its search for a replacement vendor is ongoing.
Why it matters: Mozilla's own stated reason for leaving was that the CEO's outside financial interests did not align with its values, yet the product is still sold to Firefox users almost a year after that judgment - and Krebs notes Onerep appears to work with Radaris, a people-search service with a history of ignoring opt-out requests.
