I mean a free open-source project’s gotta get money someway or another. At least they’re nice enough to give you the option to turn it off.
And it’s so simple a child could figure it out.
The freeloaders will bitch about ads while never donating a dime.
Mozilla is making millions of dollars each year.
Have they tried not making individuals rich?
Don’t look into Mozilla’s finances, please.
What am I expected to find?
You are eligible for a full refund if you aren’t satisfied with the $0 you paid for Firefox.
by that logic every foss project is justified in enshittifying
Enshittification describes a specific process that is ultimately about maximizing profit for shareholders at the expense of everyone else’s experience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification
Mozilla doesn’t have shareholders, neither do most open source projects.
When people give away software for free and yet attempt to make a living from it through other means like ads, that’s a different sorta thing.
Some will still manage to complain that the software they received for free has some ads. Others will ask how they help or donate so that the software can be ad-free.
You do you.
so making firefox shittier doesnt count because technically they dont have shareholders? nah man.
Never paid the $0 so refund doesn’t count but the breech remains. /s
Don’t care bout that tell us more about Vicky.
You think it’s anti-libre software? Use Fennec from F-Droid, a Firefox fork.
and pray, how do you install it on iOS?
Try fork iOS, oh wait…
Welcome, Mozilla is literally an adtech company now.
If you’re on Android, just go to about:config and disable
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsoredandbrowser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsoredTopSites. Or use a Mull, a hardened version for Firefox for Android, which disables this by default.61 tabs
