Mozilla has positioned itself as a mostly pro-privacy organization, and appears to be one of a dwindling few web browser frameworks that do not intentionally cripple ad-blocking and tracker-blocking extensions.

If the entire tech community is downplaying negative press of Mozzila, then perhaps that suggests that the tech community has a bias for pro-privacy groups.

Is it really, then, such a surprise that this article is getting downplayed? It certainly seems like a bad omen for privacy-focused web client development, if the contents of the article are verified and eventually jeopardize the future of the Firefox project.
