it's the definition of loyal opposition-- google literally props up mozilla to look like competition so that they won't be called a monopoly. i'm not sure using mozilla hurts google in any way, or brings us any closer to multiple browser engines-- they literally bankroll firefox for us to feel like we have a choice, and for journos to sound crazy when they talk about it.

That's why IP based blocklists are only blocking the most stupid attacks.

Crazy numbers

"From January 2023 to June 2023, bots made up nearly 50% of internet traffic, with bad bots making up 30% of traffic. That’s down from 2021 when Barracuda research found that bad bots made up 39% of internet traffic."
