This is not for me.

#43In case you are also wondering how that works and what's supported. Based on https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/02/25/exploring... it looks like it's a collaboration with https://scroll.com/ and supports sites like: - Vox - The Atlantic - Buzzfeed - Gizmodo - Slate
Seems like a bunch of publishers that have a leftist bias. I wonder if they'll give The Daily Wire, TYT, The Daily Stormer, etc the same opportunity or if it'll just be neoliberal outlets.

#44Personally, I don't necessarily mind ads, unless intrusive.
I mind:
- tracking

That's why I like Adblock Plus, even if many find their position to be highly controversial. i.e. to charge advertisers to be whitelisted as "acceptable ads" if they respect certain criteria.
When left unchecked, advertisers are to websites what kittens are to furniture.

Let's hope they don't support Neo-Nazis.

I'm the other way, google is probably the best company in my lifetime. Its recent Apple exploit 0day, I'm a bit skeptical of the programming. Google has the resources to make better products.
> Google has the resources to make better products. True but for the past 5 years or so they have been interested in making more money not better products.
And yet I've had to switch all my Lubuntu devices to using Chrome because Firefox can't seem to manage to remain open without eventually locking up the entire system.

The Daily Stormer? Really? No, I suspect that Mozilla won’t be partnering with self-identified Nazis.
