The Mozilla that was using your browsing history to target new tab page ads to you? That's "least" coupled to the privacy-invading ecosystem?
That gets hundreds of millions of dollars a year from Google & Yahoo/Microsoft in search revenues without pushing them to provide a genuine private search?

Yeah it's the least coupled, because the major alternatives (e.g. Google) literally run the privacy-invading ad networks. Mozilla walked back from the tab-page ads more than a year ago. > without pushing them to provide a genuine private search? How much leverage do you think Mozilla has with the search engines? Google canceled their deal with them because they are so dominant and Chrome has been so successful. Mozilla needs revenue to keep the lights on, and the search engines are the source of it.
