Sure, users want to have their cake and eat it too: a free browser, open, produced by invisible elves.

But so does Mozilla. They're a big enterprise when it suits them, and a scrappy upstart otherwise.

The Mozilla brand is looking mighty shabby. Privacy is the one thing they've consistently pushed, and yet I can't recall any serious innovation or stance they've taken on recent years that actually puts their money where their mouth is.

Private browsing was invented by Chrome. Brave shields you from script bloat. Safari's adding machine learning to that end.

Which leaves Mozilla... pushing adware onto its users. Qué?

It's disingenuous to say that users should be able to intuit how it's all organized and how they can contribute, when something like this clearly only happens because of privileged first party involvement with real revenue attached.

Unless you're suggesting that anyone who wishes to spam a campaign to Firefox users can just get that done by opening up an issue and submitting a patch...?
