On macOS, I started using testing Orion [0] when the last discovery of ad-injection into Firefox was posted. While it isn’t perfect, and it’s a closed beta, it actually works quite well.
But ostensibly the best feature is that the browser will have a “pro” tier with extra features that can be paid for, and a major selling point of Orion is that it has literally zero telemetry, by design. I didn’t imagine a decade ago that I’d be begging to pay for a browser, but here I am. I would love to pay Mozilla for Firefox if it meant that I knew I wasn’t going to be advertised VPN software.
Sure, I could pay for a Firefox VPN, but would that make the ads go away? I’m not sure. I would rather pay for Firefox, the browser, and have no ads or studies, but I can’t.
