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

      I mean they need to get money somehow, their devs don’t exist without pay either. And as long as its advertising I’ll still have an adblocker. No seriously, the people being targeted by those ads dont give a fuck as most of them watch ads anyway.

        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.

          Tbh, the masses don’t care. And we better ones shouldn’t care about them, most people use Chrome or other chromium browsers. And i don’t think Mozilla is going to make annoying shit ads, thats not their style, maybe Banners or similar but no pop-up shit that takes you to other sites and definitely no malicious ads, the shitstorm would be so large that they will make shure to not cause it in the first place. I think its necessary to give them some trust in doing the right things. And if not we can shitstorm them.

            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.
