If Firefox uses its own whitelist that doesn't allow FAANG, people would complain that Mozilla is abusing its product to gain an advantage over its competitors.
If Mozilla partners with a third-party to get a whitelist, people complain that Firefox is not blocking the "right" websites.
What should Mozilla do?
- neilsimp1 7y agoProvide options to let users add/remove from their whitelist. At least that's what I want to see.
- abdullahkhalids 7y agoYou can choose from a wide variety of addons that do exactly that or something similar.

- gesman 7y agoMozilla's decision to create sneaky whitelist in the first place puts it into slimy side of things.
- rcxdude 7y agoMozilla is not competing as an advertiser or tracker. They are competing as a browser maker against other browser makers, who are generally also advertisers/trackers. So there is no conflict of interest with them coming up with such a whitelist, because not whitelisting their competitors does not benefit them.
