People are going to complain no matter how they try to make money, but this should at least have been opt-in with clear consent. The alternative of course is being beholden to Google search referrals. They can't photosynthesize funds.
Vivaldi, Brave, and their stans are getting their pitchforks ready, forgetting that they don't have to do the hard work of developing an engine because Google already does that for them.

I don't know about how Vivaldi works, but Brave stans can shut up. Their ad system is a hundred times worse than Mozilla's.
I mean, I don't like how they went about this either, but considering the alternative of a 100% Google dominated browser space, and the fact that you can just disable it and the base Firefox code is still open source, it's not a huge deal.
There is something seriously wrong with Mozilla leadership. They keep alienating the small privacy-focussed userbase they have left, and then act surprised when Firefox's marketshare keeps shrinking...
Baker needs to go and be replaced by someone who cares about Firefox long term viability instead of only caring about how many millions more they can add to their obscene salary while destroying Firefox and everything else that Mozilla built over the years.
yikes sweaty, mozilla's ceo is a proud bipoc trans woman. stop being so hateful

No one mentioned that, at all. Are you another troll account for @SupportTransPeople@lemmy.ml ?
