It’s not a comparison of how deep each of them are. It’s simple fact that they all are. Even defunct one like Internet Explorer or Edge were part of the same industry. It’s a pattern, not a coincidence.

Mozilla making the judgment that it may be more effective to attempt to push advertising tech towards more privacy friendly technology (i don’t agree with them but I can understand the thought process) and Google being an evil advertising empire are not even remotely the same thing.
While you’re technically correct, this false equivalence you’re trying to draw is just absurd.

They all are NOT. Mozilla is not part of “the advertising industry”.

Ignoring the fact they are literally part of the industry.
They also rely on that industry for keeping their lights on.

That customer is Google making Google search the default on Firefox.
They also keep hiring useless venture capital CEOs and keep increasing their pay, while firing workers at the same time.
Nobody is telling you to stop using Firefox, but pretending that Mozilla is some kind of savior saint is just false.
