I don't think there is anything about that in moz://a's manifesto, but maybe my interpretation is wrong. On the other hand, Google being their main source of revenue they are indirectly funded by ad money too.
Commercial involvement in the development of the Internet brings many benefits; a balance between commercial profit and public benefit is critical.

- wongarsu 7y agoPrinciple 5 "Individuals must have the ability to shape the Internet and their own experiences on the Internet." can be read as "the user can modify how the client displays the page". More importantly: with the current status quo where both site operators and ad networks reject responsibility for security implications of their ads and ad networks show little regards for privacy, the only way I see to respect Principle 4 "Individuals’ security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional." is to block offending ad networks.
