Mozilla's CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now.
tl;dr: "LOL get fucked"
They've decided who their customers are, and it's not you, it's people who build and invest in surveillance advertising networks. But in a "respectful" way....

@jwz I'd love to hear the perspective of someone that actually has positive feelings about this.
@mauve You already did, their titled is "Overpaid CEO". If you click the link, there is also full-throated support from "Overpaid President".
@jwz Ah! I meant users of firefox. Like, I have a hard time imagining a single user that wouldn't feel negatively about this.
@mauve @jwz Looks like https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1fvvvls/why_in_my_opinion_what_mozilla_is_doing_with/ is happy. I did not read the post though.
@mauve @jwz I guess they plan to keep doing the same kind of search deal, but this time they will claim that the money comes from privacy respecting ad attribution?
