Despite its emphasis on protecting privacy, Mozilla is moving towards integrating ads, backed by new infrastructure from their acquisition of Anonym. They claim this will maintain a balance between user control and online ad economics, using privacy-preserving tech. However, this shift appears to contradict Mozilla’s earlier stance of protecting users from invasive advertising practices, and it signals a change in their priorities.
Happy to see some sane comments here. Couldn’t have said it better. You can hate ads and still keep a foot in reality.
I choose to keep both feet firmly planted in unreality.
If ads are necessary for the internet, I’m going back to reading books. It was fun y’all.
They put ads in books too, unfortunately. The internet ones you can block.
Book ads are at least usually at the end of the book and for other books you might want to read. And they’re static. If internet ads were like book ads I wouldn’t have to block them.
