I'm sure I miss something, so could anyone from "privacy-protectionists" explain how they see Mozilla/Firefox surviving in the medium-to-long run, given that:
- main source of income for Mozilla is an Ads Company
- "ads industry is not going to pack up and leave"
- ads industry has much deeper pockets than Mozilla (even if Mozilla replaces Google's money bags with someone else's money bags of equal size)
- any step away from the extreme privacy-protecting position is seen as treason

Mozilla will hopefully not survive and make space for someone who actually cares about privacy. > main source of income for Mozilla is an Ads Company Yes, that is a big part of why Mozilla cannot be redeemed. > "ads industry is not going to pack up and leave" They have already been banished from all my devices. > ads industry has much deeper pockets than Mozilla (even if Mozilla replaces Google's money bags with someone else's money bags of equal size) So? That won't allow them to control what runs on my devices. > any step away from the extreme privacy-protecting position is seen as treason Yes, it is betraying the trust people have put in a self-proclaimed privacy champion.
