This is unacceptable. Mozilla has shown they are incapable of not abusing Firefox. There shouldn't be an advertising channel/system in the browser.

If you want to advertise, have a newsletter that people can opt into.

If you need money, allow people to pay for just Firefox.

This was them trying to let people pay for Firefox. It was Mozilla VPN.

Everyone gets angry and has an opinion of how this sucks. There's no way for this to work out for Mozilla. Nothing they do will work or make everyone happy.

Google won.

I know right? Mozilla has tried showing ads to people multiple times, ignored their privacy preferences at every opportunity, keeps protecting them from working extensions and generally copies Chrome whenever possible and their market share still keeps going donw. If only it wasn't for the damned entitled users Mozilla would have been successful by now.

Google won indeed. They won by making Mozilla into their little bitch insted of real competition.
