It depends on whether the topic is divisive or not. Protecting privacy, holding big tech accountable, etc are not divisive topics. Any internet user wants that. Yet if you tread in more divisive topics, you may lose part of your audience. Examples: women in tech, trans rights, advancing the black community with special projects. Each of these are politically divisive. It doesn't matter where you stand on these issues, I'm just commenting on how they are divisive topics in an extremely polarized political landscape. If these issues are central to your belief and mission, one should go for it. Yet you then need to accept the risk of abandoning part of the potential user base. Which for a browser maker is dumb. But I wonder what Mozilla really is these days.
