"#Money is the problem. Not too little, but too much. Where there's #wealth, there's a natural #human desire to make more #wealth. Ever since #Firefox 1.0 in 2004, Firefox has never had to compete. It's been attached like a #mosquito to an #artery to the #Google #cash #firehose. #TheRegister noted it in 2007, and it made more the next year. We were dubious when Firefox turned #five."
"And as for that #money — remember back in 2018? That's when #Google dropped "Don't be evil" as its #motto."
"#Mozilla's #leadership is #directionless and #flailing because it's never had to do, or be, anything else. It's never needed to know how to make a #profit, because it never had to make a #profit. It's no wonder it has no real #direction or #vision or clue: it never needed them. It's role-playing being a #business."
"Like we said, don't #blame the #app. You're still #better off with Firefox or a fork such as #Waterfox. #Chrome even #snoops on you when in #incognito mode, and as we #warned you, Google removed the APIs #adblocker #extensions used. You still get better #adblocking in #Firefox."
