  • The benefit of the doubt logic here Is as follows:

    Mozilla thinks that the ad supported model of the web is essential to continuing to function.

    Mozilla knows that the vast majority of installs have an adblocker installed.

    In order to keep the ecosystem healthy they’re exploring ethical advertising options.

    Counterpoint:

    The vast majority of their income comes from the largest advertising company in the world - alphabet.

    They need to be seen to at least make some efforts to not murder the advertising model through their mere existence while not pissing off the community too much.

    See how much an exploit for iPhone vs Android will run you in the open market.

    Also how fast a discovered security hole will be patched and distributed to the fleet between the two systems.

    Most Android phones will never get a patch, some will get it 6 - 12 months later and very few within the month.

    Also one is run by an advertising company.










  • Exactly. The calculus for taking risks is vastly different when there’s a safety net. You can treat it as a game and go all in.

    On the other hand if there’s even a small chance of losing housing or getting in legal trouble or your family being destitute you take no risks - if you are a person with a sense of responsibility that is.
