Do you remember that one time when they layed of hundreds of employees and increased ceo pay by 400%? And baked ads into the Firefox? Supported Google on anti trust? You use dedicated clients for everything today anyway, you can use something like Netsurf to browse websites that don’t need Javascript.
Do you remember the time when Yemeni families were bombed and experienced genocide at the hands of Google AI couple years ago? Yea no a corrupted hijacked Mozilla is not a bigger issue than that.
Also what ads? Are you telling me Booking.com text snippet on new tab page, that went away later, is an actual ad compared to Google crippling ad blocker APIs?
Only reason Mozilla aren’t doing these things because they don’t have the market share and the money. Privacy protecting and freedom respecting stuff is all marketing. Firefox is basically Chromium without things that make Chromium good. The true alternative is WebKit, it has Apple behind it for crying out loud, it can fight Google way harder than Mozilla ever could. If you are a maniac like me you can also use Netsurf, gemini and gopher. Maybe even Dillo… ok maybe not Dillo (I hope that project gets somewhere someday).
Firefox in general is not the solution in my opinion, Mozilla doesn’t do much for the open web.
Does a lot more than Chrome and its forks will ever do. The concept of opposition is clearly not understood here.
And do not even try to suggest webbrowser or NetSurf is superior to Firefox, because that is objectively false.
You know Mozilla thinks Web Bundles are ok for the open web right?
You know Google thinks AMP, crippling ad blockers, drone bombing people, spying on people is alright?

You really think Mozilla, if it had the money, would assist in bombing people like Google does? WHOA.
I’m sure all Google did was handing over data to state in exchange of some money. Mozilla would totally do the same if it means profit.
