"they had no other choice mozilla is insanely under paid"

HAHAHAHA

@SuperDicq isnt the drama severely overblown anyways? im pretty sure they arent even selling to advertisers or even hoarding data.

@d4rkness@beige.party If Mozilla isn't selling to advertisers then why does Firefox already contain a bunch of add?

@SuperDicq it doesnt contain ads lmao

@d4rkness@beige.party Default Firefox actually contains ads and has done so for a long time. Most notably with "sponsored" links on the default new tab page. I'm not joking.

@SuperDicq those arent ads lmao and they dont make money off those

@d4rkness@beige.party What the hell are you talking about?

You think they put companies like Amazon, Temu and TUI in there because they like them?

It's because they give them money. This is the definition of adware.

@SuperDicq its like the least invasive form of an ad and its super easy to disable it fully, also its links to their websites which can be very handy to use if you use those websites often.

@d4rkness@beige.party Mozilla should not be endorsing monopolistic companies like Amazon or Temu.

This absolutely goes against the original Mozilla Manifesto where they pledged to only support and enable products that the same principles as them.

@SuperDicq mozilla is a fucking corporation what did you expect lmao

@d4rkness@beige.party There's the Mozilla Corporation and the Mozilla Foundation. The original purpose Mozilla Corporation exists to generate funds to maintain the ideals of the Mozilla Foundation which is non-profit.

It was not meant to be profit seeking.
