The only times I click on ads is to see what competing businesses are doing / offering. I am pretty sure they would actually save money by stopping showing me ads.

You should be paying content publishers. They are the ones who lose advertising revenue, not Mozilla.

Mozilla makes a big chunk of money (or did) by making Big G the default search engine. They have employees to pay and servers to maimtain.

Publishers online and offline have almost never made money without ads. The only diff. is tracking readers is easy online. And that is not probably going to change anytime soon. I don't trust publishers. I trust Mozilla.

Mozilla can't help with that, even if they break up with Big G.

Mozilla deserves our support for other reasons though.
