This article seems to be more of a manufactured platform for the author's distaste for cryptocurrency than an expression of genuine concern about the environmental impact of web browser publishers. The author doesn't seem to appreciate that Mozilla's onboarding of a general cryptocurrency payment processor does not mean that Mozilla endorses the specific cryptocurrency Bitcoin with its notorious energy usage. And going by the language used in the article (her apparent distaste that Mozilla is "encouraging people to mine cryptocurrency"), it's pretty clear that the author does not grasp that many cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin are not mined. In short, aside from painting broad generalized strokes about Mozilla versus Apple, it also paints broad generalized strokes about cryptocurrencies. It's a piece based mostly on the author's opinion rather than objective research about the environmental footprints of companies or of payment processing.
