It's weird reading all those comments. What have they been doing? Trying to find a revenue stream so they can ensure the long term viability of Firefox. But you can't just purchase another product successful enough to recoup the purchase price and then take all the profit and invest in Firefox - the other product will die. Getting twice the Firefox downloads doesn't help if they're losing money on every "sale" - but surveillance is the only income around for a browser since IE.

I still love Firefox... but Mozilla's not making it easy.

What hurts in this article is them saying that to get us to love Firefox again they plan on scaling back the VPN and email masking services, which I felt were actually decent, and instead pushing more into advertising and AI, which I would much rather they just drop altogether.

How about instead helping advance #Servo and start integrating more with other FOSS, privacy friendly protocols (eg ActivityPub,Matrix,XMPP...)
