> Mozilla has to found further development and is financed by Google's money as well? This was also mentioned at the bottom of the article: > If I were a Product executive at Mozilla, I would be banging the table to introduce useful, paid products that could enrich and support the Firefox ecosystem. Chief among these would be a low-cost, independent email service focused on privacy and spam protection that would allow people to migrate off of Gmail; a VPN service; a media/content whitelisting service combined with an ad-blocker that allowed people to easily pay for content; and maybe even its own password manager.

> introduce useful, paid products that could enrich and support the Firefox ecosystem This is where I'm wary, that it could become just a better walled garden. I trust Mozilla more than Google, but they've had hiccups in the past that tarnished that trust. > allow people to migrate off of Gmail My utopian dream is Mozilla spearheading open alternatives to all Google services: email, Open Street Maps, search, password manager, P2P file transfer, ad blockers, maybe even ethical ads. It gives me hope to see them already embracing some of this general direction.

No, they just have to offer ads without tracking clicks or impressions. Something similar to the former service of Project Wonderful.
