this is why it's silly that people are mad at mozilla for buying a privacy friendly ad company to try and break the monopoly.
Its seriously absurd. I hate ads, but there's realistically not a better option to profit when providing free software and services like Mozilla is doing. Investing into ads that don't violate your privacy is a great decision. I don't know what the hell people want from them.
They want them to meet all of their impossibly high and contradictory standards at the same time. For free. What's so hard about that?? /s
They should do it like Signal: accept donations. Signal is doing just fine. But Mozilla cannot legally do that as they are a for-profit company. And Mozilla Foundation won't do that either because they are funded by Mozilla and under their command.
You can accept donations if you're a for-profit company, there's no rule against that.
Signal is a teeny tiny little pet project compared to an entire browser and rendering engine.
I don’t know what the hell people want from them.
these people are probably already using forks anyway
Not silly at all. It's a ship of Theseus situation, and the ship has helmsmen with bad attitudes. Bad attitudes engender bad decisionmaking.
