    Still Firefox.

    Just remember, the Mozilla Corporation who owns the Mozilla Foundation who owns Firefox purchased the ad provider. Not Firefox themselves.

      FWIW, it’s the Mozilla Foundation that owns the Mozilla Corporation. It’s a minor nit, but also an important distinction, as the non-profit has more control (the opposite of many “<company> foundation” structures).

      Mozilla Foundation owns Mozilla Corporation.

      Mozilla Corporation, which is responsible for Firefox, is what also purchased Anonym.

      @slazer2au@lemmy.world I can’t prove it, but it is likely you will start seeing ads in a near future in your browser, I wouldn’t be shocked.

        Well, then I’ll have a bone to pick with my adblocker.

        It’s open-source, people will strip it right out if it happens.

          @Nommer@sh.itjust.works who said “trust me”? Please let me know what other purpose is the goal of purchase an ad company (other than to sell ads, one way or another)

              Did you really respond to a 2 month old post just to link your own post “proving” you’re right with a screen cap of a search result? What a pathetic loser you must be. Blocked. Fucking retard.
