Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What's next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type "McDonald's" before I can actually navigate there?

So how exactly were you planning on them making money if they don’t take money from Google to be the default search engine and they don’t take money to place advertisements on the default home page?

Open source projects shouldn't have "making money" on their priority list. I would donate to Mozilla if I had some guarantee that my money would actually fund Firefox development
