Mozilla: A free and open internet shouldn't come at the expense of privacy

So can I! But I don't think Mozilla's approach is the correct one. I think it will just make the problem more intractable by helping to legitimize and cement in the very thing that makes online advertising so abhorrent.
But today, we literally have privacy aware forks of Firefox! I've been using Librewolf for over a year and I might try out BetterBird next.
Sadly these projects would just go away if Mozilla ever up and vanished. I really hope the Ladybird project makes significant headway. I'm still upset Microsoft didn't attempt to open up Trident after they ditched it for Blink/Chrome.
The limited web engine market is a really bad thing.
This is sad, sad news.
