@evan -- I moved over to #Vivaldi for this reason - plus how they treated their ex-CTO, and their AI strategies, plus their killing their fediverse server. Seems rudderless. And no regrets with Vivaldi.

@tchambers @evan Personally I'm not opposed to web advertising if done right (Kurt Vonnegut was able to quit his day job as a car dealership manager because of sales to ad-supported magazines—constructive web ads could help writers) but the way that Mozilla is going about it is more like #adfraud in the browser than like the previous "ads in Firefox" projects

Making it easy for bad sites to "steal attribution" (claim credit for sales) creates surveillance risks to users
