    maybe its just me, but as useful and nice to know as this is, I really want Mozilla to focus their efforts on making a good browser, not to spend money doing everything but that.

    There are a lot of anti-features (studies, pocket, telemetry, “sponsored suggestions”, etc…) that are justified in “we have to make money somehow” but then they spend it on this stuff.

        Sure, I mean I want them to focus their energy on it.

      This particular issue is important enough that I’m glad they did it. We needed somebody to do it, and if that means a tiny bit of funding was diverted from browser work, I think it was more than worth it.

      (Also, the Mozilla Foundation is not the same as the Mozilla Corporation.)
