Screw you Mozilla
(lemmy.nz)
If this isn't a targetted advert in my browser, I don't know what is.
And here's where you turn it off:
The Google deal is a problematic dependency and a single point of failure. I don't like putting ads in the browser as an alternative, but I'm unsure what would be a good funding model for the project.
Mozilla should definitely focus its resources on improving the browser rather than side quests.
Even more problematic because the LLM are destroying search.
Wait till people freak the fuck out when it becomes the Gemini bar.
I think they have plenty of resources already, some of their uses are questionable. Mail/VPN (i think they already rolled out their own vpn service for some countries) could be a sidequest not for the sake of a sidequest, doubt it's gonna match 500M per year though
Firefox doesn't do mail AFAIK. Thunderbird is a different branch and is funded separately.
The VPN is just a re-skinned Mullvad last time I checked.
Yeah ik, I'm saying they could to diversify
