They can't and likely won't ever block ALL ads because they are funded through a search contract with Google. The whole point of that contract is to drive ad revenue.
- chii 7y agoAs netizens, is there a way to replace Mozilla's dependence on another private company for revenue? Govt grants? Or is merely donations the only way?
- ericd 7y agoidk, but I’ll happily pitch in a monthly donation for what is by far my most used software.
- ionised 7y agoSame. I depend on and use Firefox enough that I'd happily pay monthly for it.
- woodrowbarlow 7y agomozilla foundation (the non-profit) accepts donations, but not (afaik) the part of mozilla that develops firefox.
- Tijdreiziger 7y agoI'm pretty sure they just sell the contract to the highest bidder, they don't need Google. In fact, for some time Google decided not to renew the contract, so they went with Yahoo instead.
