    Everyone: Mozilla should find new revenue streams in order to become truly independent.

    Mozilla: We’re open to suggestions

    Everyone: …

    Mozilla: We’re going to explore doing so in an organic method across our products using the methodology that big tech is generating money, but with a Mozilla spin.

    Everyone: How dare you!

    What you gonna do? Go to Google? Mozilla is not allowed to make advertisements (even with the goal of privacy respecting ads), Mozilla is not allowed to get money from Google and Mozilla is not allowed to sell Firefox. These are some of the problems Mozilla is facing. I’m personally not entirely against ads, if its done right (respecting my privacy and not being annoying, also not trying to scam me).

    People shit on Mozilla and Firefox, but there is no alternative. Forks off course are alternatives, but without Mozilla’s Firefox, there wouldn’t be forks. Google, Microsoft and Apple are way, waaay worse.

      Agree. If it was a perfect world then governments would fund and contribute to open source project to make sure there are good free solution to keep your data private (at least from being collected and sold to some random companies) and make sure they won’t go down.
      Sadly I don’t think it’s really happening…

        I don’t understand governments. They want to be in a position where they are not controlled by single giant tech companies, yet they do not do anything for their freedom. Here in Germany from time to time the government, or parts of it, want to switch to Open Source (Linux and Office) and start funding it. But then after some time they give up. If they would fund the projects now, then later it would be a much easier task to switch entirely.

        Which will be years from now, if ever. I mean, I hope for them as much as you do, but it doesn’t mean there is no problem right now.

    The Ads position:

    We’re growing the Mozilla Ads product team, passionate about display advertising in Mozilla products that is privacy-respecting and values-aligned. You will be one of the lead engineers that will craft, build, and be responsible for the core systems, both front-end and back-end, that support advertising in clients (Firefox, MDN, Pocket, Fakespot, etc). You and your team will be the domain guides when it comes to advertising, providing direction and shepherding to various product teams across Mozilla.

    Yeaaaah fuck off Mozilla, we don’t want Ads.

    Why Mozilla?

    At Mozilla, we’re serving humanity—by maintaining a safe, open internet—while also helping the individual humans employed here to reach their personal and professional goals. […]

    I guess that’s no longer the case then?

    The “I don’t care if you go broke, give me what I want” stance I’m seeing online seems short-sighted at best and narcissistic at worst.

        I’m sure those developers don’t need any material like, say, software, or a desk. Or other staff to write those paychecks and resolve disputes. Or give direction. Nor would the company need to host any downloads or other websites.
