Firefox seems to be following the same path of aging products like Cable TV and newspapers. It is loading the product with ad monetization until only the people who don't care about it are left. I have a hard time sympathizing when they have been paid hundreds of millions of dollars a year for over a decade. Yes, they want to diversify away from Google's payments but I don't believe it takes that much money to make a web browser, even if they are massively complicated. I also believe only a tiny fraction of that money goes towards Firefox development.
A lot of people defend Mozilla here but we have needed a decent alternative since Firefox added Pocket integration. I have used Firefox since release many years ago, and this is the last straw.
