Using entirely unrelated ad blocking technology is bad for what reason?
You can feel free to moralize, but be consistent: Mozilla bought an NFT company to integrate their code into Firefox, and that’s not the only skeleton in their closet.
I mean what’s wrong with buying a company to access it proprietary code. NFTs were a dumb grift, but if the specific software product they offered was sound what’s the issue?
If the code was good, nothing would be wrong with it. It would be even better if the code was free. And that’s my point.
(In Mozilla’s case, it’s actually much worse because they bought private customer data along with the technology and then canned the technology while keeping the data, but that’s a different story.)
Using technology from a known crypto scamming developer is not good.

Oh they have a whole cemetery of a city in the basement.
Still doesnt excuse it IMO.
Does it need an excuse? It’s a good change. If you have a reason to dislike it, please provide one.
I can hate more than one of Mozilla’s decisions.
Do you have a reason to “hate” this? Zewm forgot to have one.

That sounds so funny, somehow

Why?
I use Linux. This means everyday I use software developed by Google, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, the US military and the NSA.
It doesn’t really matter who developed or contributed so much as who benefits.
