YES. How can Mozilla be so out of touch? Do they not understand the fact people use their browser because it supports uBlock Origin? We need to repeat this loud and clear until they get it.
Well it doesn't make anysense. Nonprofit doesn't mean you don't have to make money.
While I understand having such an ad is not perfect, it is non intrusive (doesn't popup from nowhere), relevant to your context (private browsing can benefit from a VPN) and non tracking.
Basically, I can't agree with that. As a user who is unable to contribute to the development of Firefox. I'd love to see my favorite product have a stable, independent cash flow that comes from a product that doesn't conflict with the company's culture (i.e., protecting privacy). Anyway, at least, this is much better than the cryptocurrency things that come with Brave.

It was decent up until the last half. The all caps nature of your post was unnecessary and childish, and while it makes sense to be upset at Mozilla's mismanagement and ads in your browser, you cite needlessly off-topic examples where Mozilla should actually be doing something (aside from the color scheme part).
Does Mozilla really need a VR research team?

"Non-profit" doesn't mean that money magically appears out of nothing.
> pushed me ever closer to just giving up and going to Chrome, where at least they exploit me in predictable ways.
Chrome is worse, and the ways are much more intrusive. They aren't even predictable. If people keep attacking Firefox like that, there won't be any choice but Chromium/Google, and then it will get even worse.
In Firefox you can usually turn off the things you don't like. Just turn it off.
Why isn't there a FOSS browser? Why is building FOSS OSes more popular than FOSS browsers? Edit: Ok, I'll see if I can compile the source. (Firefox is foss)
