"Mozilla said that the ads are part of an attempt to connect new browser users to sites that they might find relevant."
I understand that Mozilla is looking for ways to fund itself. But they should not join those who use the word "relevant" in this disingenuous way.
This phrasing is an obvious attempt to sugarcoat the fact that we are being inundated by so many schemes to grab a piece of our limited cognitive capacity that we wouldn't even be able to notice something relevant if it were actually there.
Mozilla's advantage over other browser makers is that users trust them not to use the kind of deceptive chicanery that we're being subjected to left and right. So they better not ruin that trust by using dishonest language.
