      Right and that has existed long before today. And I can’t find anything in this article suggesting that the start page, or anywhere else, is going to be reallocated towards new ads which is what it sounds like the commenter above me was suggesting.

          Would you prefer Mozilla to not exist? They’re trying to find revenue streams other than the money they get from Google.

              Well it would to everyone who relies on Mozilla for making the only current alternative engine to chromium. Mozilla dying would harm its forks, too, and finally give chromium a total monopoly

            I would prefer Mozilla to ask. Some options:

            • on first install, pick your poison - donate, accept ads, or accept negative karma
            • pay to remove ads on a page - you’d pay into a bucket, and payments to remove ads would subtract from that
            • more optional, revenue-generating services (e.g. push their VPN harder)
