jwz: Mozilla is an advertising company now

A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Fucking finally. So many reactionary nerds here. Yes, it may turn to shit. It may not. The result is unknown. What I do know is Firefox has been my browser of choice for two whole decades. Chromium actively is killing adblockers. Firefox right now is not.
If something happens I'll make a switch. Right now, nothing has.
To what?
part of the reason I haven't done anything right there. what is there to switch to? Chromium? Where they are actively killing adblockers?
Why are you applying the Wait And See philosophy to Firefox but not to Chrome?
Seems a bit... Reactionary.
Because Chrome has already announced they are killing adblockers with manifest V3, and they have been very public about that for years.
Firefox just announced 2 weeks ago they are supporting manifest V2 & V3, and going on to support adblockers.
Did they actually say that?
I think we need to Wait and See, to give the ad company the benefit of the doubt. And by "the ad company," I'll let you figure out whether I'm referring to Mozilla or Google.
