    Because they don’t want to scare advertisers.

    This tells you everything you need to know. If Firefox was acting in the interests of users then they wouldn’t give a fuck what advertisers think.

      No it doesn’t. But if they are to be successful, they do need advertisers to be on board.

      I get it, we are currently in a polarized “all-or-nothing” cultural revolution. Compromise is the new four-letter word. But look around at other polarized ideologies and tell me they are all working out like people want.

      What Firefox is trying to do is a good thing. And yes that means finding a middle ground where nobody gets everything they want, but also gets some things that they want.
