      Yeah, this sounds suspiciously like they’re inching toward the Brave business model.

    Looks like Mozilla is entering their villain era. 🦹‍♂️

        They do have to make money, but advertising leaves a sour taste in my mouth after what Google did with it; made the web so messy with ads and other bullshit. Sure, I’ve got uBlock killing all the ads and auto play bullshit that the web is rife with. It just sucks that the masses are paying the price by being inundated with an obscene amount of ads.

            You’re right, Mozilla probably won’t make ads aggressively awful like Google does! As Firefox users would 100% riot and set their digital plains aflame. Its just again, I’m very leery of advertising as Google shit the bed and created a hotbed for malvertising and other digital curses.

            I’m sure some individuals in the ocean of humanity does; they’ve not touched upon the solutions to their issues. Evading Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge; they’ve yet to dance in the curtailed adverts heaven of Firefox. Hopefully, there will be more to awaken to the joy of minimal adverts.

    Hope that gets open-sourced and made in to an complete out-of-the-box advertising platform. I’ve tried selfhosting ads and as of now there isn’t much except for revive-adserver. Sure, and the big (closed) surveillance tech platforms everyone uses.
