First focusing on AI and now this, already cancelled my donations, do we have a good fork to move to?

Iā€™m not planning to move anywhere tbh.

I do. If they go through with it than they're not much better than Google.

If they don't have enough money maybe they could start with cutting the CEO's pay.

Likening this to the evils of google is such a wildly dishonest take lmao

Why? Do you really think Google started out evil, and not step by step by implementing "improvements" similar to this one?

On the contrary, it's the only comparison you can make, since they are literally the only options.

already

How considering to show ads and allow to opt out is worse that google? Have you watch Youtube?

I haven't read through the issue, but so far all of Mozilla's endeavours into ads have been stellar privacy-wise.

And their CEO stepped back a few weeks ago. It's well possible that the intermediary/new CEO won't get as much payment, because losing them to a competitor will not hurt as badly.

this need to start from inside the company, lile the employers timing a walkout of something, other than that everything gonna stay the same
