Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

While the point is valid that the devs need to eat and sleep and need to get paid, Mozilla is investing money into stupid shit like AI and starting to sell the userdata after they said that they would never do is the main issue here. I guess you would be pissed if your Wife cheats on you after she told you at the altar she wouldn't?

thier obsession with AI(tech in general) hasnt generated useful profit for those companies.

I guess if your wife needs revenue to survive, you can't argue with how she earns it. At least, that appears to be the point they're trying to make.

That's such a dumb take. Yes I can be fucking mad how that money is made.

If my wife became a prostitute without us discussing and agreeing to it together because we were having money trouble I absolutely would have a problem with it. Same the other way around. There's no way this would be an uncommon opinion.
