Despite its emphasis on protecting privacy, Mozilla is moving towards integrating ads, backed by new infrastructure from their acquisition of Anonym. They claim this will maintain a balance between user control and online ad economics, using privacy-preserving tech. However, this shift appears to contradict Mozilla’s earlier stance of protecting users from invasive advertising practices, and it signals a change in their priorities.

    Happy to see some sane comments here. Couldn’t have said it better. You can hate ads and still keep a foot in reality.

      I choose to keep both feet firmly planted in unreality.
