    1. I don’t know why people think Mozilla is a “saving grace” of anything. One glance at their privacy policy proves otherwise.

    2. Mozilla has both a for-profit and non-profit arm, much like RPi (formerly) and OpenAI.

    3. I am fully in support of privacy-preserving ads. Much of the internet runs on ads. All your favorite YouTubers, favorite news sources, etc. are all survived by ads.

      A saving grace in terms of browser engines. They are the only real competitor to Chromium.

      This whole “for-profit owned by a non-profit” paradigm needs to globally crushed right the fuck now. It should never have been allowed to happen and should not be tolerated.

      I can tolerate ads, but I still wish we had a better financing model for content on the internet at large. Ad tech has a tendency to creep into places where it doesn’t belong. Like task bars, or explorers.

        Only if you use Windows or OEM/Stock Android. I happen to not see ads ever.
