@louis @cory I don’t believe any of these claims are accurate. They’ve never stated (to my knowledge) that they snooping on search queries. They’re also not “becoming an ad company” or “owned by an ad company”.
Are Mozilla perfect? God no. Are these statements true? Also no. Let’s not spread FUD, there’s enough of that out there already.
Who knows, maybe this is a way for them to become more sustainable away from the Google $. I’d welcome that if the ads respect users.
