People is blocking ads because of those three:
- Current ads are resource hungry (if you use a metered conection, you can end up paying 10 times more if you don't block them), noisy and disruptive (popups, interstitial ads, video...).
- Current ads include client side code that can be used to insert malware in your favourite pages. Happened too many times.
- Privacy. Even fully anonymous tracking is too much.
If they want people to stop blocking ads, they have to go back to text only or one image only ads, with no extras like CSS or JS, no animations, and no profiling at all.
Everything else is a waste of time and patience.
Current Mozilla efforts are pointless and tone deaf. They are doing more to damage Mozilla Foundation reputation than anything else. And it is tarnished enough as it is.
Mozilla should stop shilling for corporate money, and think about users real needs. Otherwise, they will continue bleeding users, and there is no corporate money for sofware without users.
