Makers of content blockers, privacy add-ons say promises weren’t kept
Makers of content blockers, privacy add-ons say promises weren’t kept
It’s not a comparison of how deep each of them are. It’s simple fact that they all are. Even defunct one like Internet Explorer or Edge were part of the same industry. It’s a pattern, not a coincidence.
They all are NOT. Mozilla is not part of “the advertising industry”. Mozilla is a nonprofit organization which relies on funding from others, and occasionally puts advertising in their product to keep the lights on, they are not, primarily, an advertising organization.
The solution, is quite literally, use Mozilla Firefox.
Ignoring the fact they are literally part of the industry.
They also rely on that industry for keeping their lights on.

That customer is Google making Google search the default on Firefox.
They also keep hiring useless venture capital CEOs and keep increasing their pay, while firing workers at the same time.
Nobody is telling you to stop using Firefox, but pretending that Mozilla is some kind of savior saint is just false.
