Hm yes, the "we're built different so we won't be affected by enshittification" option
Ah, the "Mozilla Spin" is to put fucking ads in Firefox, got it.
There's already ads in Firefox and every other major browser.
Not in the browser. From web pages sure, but it sure as hell sounds like they're going to shove ads in the browser like MS has been testing in the start menu. Once that starts who knows, maybe they'll have their own little Chrome manifest v3 rollout that breaks adblocking for webpages too.
Based on this and the past year of "mistakes" it's sure looking more and more like they're trying to push ahead on the enshittification path.
If they're so desperate to find other sources of income why does the Mozilla CEO not take a pay cut out of that 10 million/year
They're not going to serve ads in page outside of sponsored tiles and things of that ilk and there's been no suggestion otherwise.
