Is there anyone on HN who believes Mozilla will not implement FLoC in Firefox. Mozilla has stated over and over that it is a firm believer in advertising as "essential" for the internet to survive. In practice, they never phrase it as an opinion or even an underlying assumption (that can be questioned), they try to state this as a "fact".[1] This is called advocacy. Mozilla is an advocate for online advertising. They derive their salaries from payments from a deal with an online advertising company and in return they send search queries on Firefox to that company. (This argument that ads are critical is total BS, IMO. The internet worked great without ads. It would work even better now. Anyone who tests these things can see the web without ads works much better than it does with ads.) What Mozilla really needs to state is that Mozilla believes online ads are critical to Mozilla's survival as an employer. If web browser authors and their bosses want to be paid, then they assume they must to sell out to advertisers. Why is there no privacy by default when using web browsers. This is why. 1. Note first sentence, underlying assumption, of Mozilla communications. This company is blinded by advertising payola and cannot see non-commercial use of the web as worth protecting. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/the-future-of-ads-and-privacy/ https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/the-future-of-ads-and-pr... https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/building-a-more-privacy-preserving-ads-based-ecosystem/ https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/building-a-more-privacy-...
