So Mozilla is flat-out being an adtech company now, huh.
This is why, despite me using a Firefox-based browser (Zen Browser), I recommend Vivaldi. Yeah, they're not *perfect*, their GUI is closed source and they're based on Chromium. But they're a much smaller company than even Mozilla, so I completely get why and the reply guys scoffing over that can honestly just fuck off.
They rose from the ashes of Presto-era Opera, and have been more consistent on their principles than Mozilla. They joked about making a cryptocurrency and even said "no, we're not implementing cryptocurrency" while Mozilla allowed donations via it until they got shouted at by their core user base. They've also come out against baking AI into their browser, their only extent being that they fake being Microsoft Edge for those who *choose* to use Copilot.
The writing's on the wall for Firefox, IMO.
