      Firefox is adding optional builtin promoted paid services tho. (VPN, email obfuscator) This stuff should be extensions. Makes me worry.

        More than the company that literally is a for profit that makes a browser that kneecaps adblocking and puts an ad targeting protocol onto the Browser?

          Mozilla Corporation is a for profit company that builds Firefox. The Mozilla Foundation is nonprofit.

          MZLA Technologies, the Thunderbird company, is also for profit which is why donations to them are not tax deductible.

        Those two aren’t bad, IMO. It lines up with what people think their principles should be.

        You want something to make you worry? They’re integrating Fakespot, an AI-based review scanner that Mozilla acquired a while back, into Firefox. Never mind that industries are having problems auto-scanning content for AI generated prose…
