On the "Mozilla" subject. Let's face it, we don't have a mature and truly open browser nowadays. Despite the fact that Mozilla exist as foundation they're on the quest for revenue. And this is the main problem.
We need an open browser which is not driven by revenue, backed by foundation, and truly Open Source. And it must be just a browser, no bloatware, no tracking, no commercialization at all.
The web is a public place and we need a browser for public.

@lig It can be disabled, and ads aren't bad per se, as long as it's distinguished as such. This is a great read on the issue: newpipe.net/blog/pinned/newpip

I don't see why we should trash on firefox for every decision they make.. they are still the best alternative browser FOSS has to offer against Google dominance. Which is no easy task.

I don't see anything wrong with them trying to earn for the work they do.

@Aman9das @lig Unfortunately monetizing a browser is seemingly impossible. People are too used to getting them for free so you can't charge for them, barely anyone donates, and unless you are Google or Apple you can't offer the kind of ecosystem integration they have that would drive people in.
