  If Google stopped sponsoring, Mozilla would go down and Google would get slammed with anti-monopoly lawsuits from the EU.

  So Mozilla can do whatever they want and Google won’t stop sending them money. Since that is a lot more profitable in the long run.

    So… What are they waiting for? Are they going to rely on gorhill for ever?

      You want Mozilla choosing what gets blocked?

        Sure, as long as we still have options to disable their blocker and use a 3rd party one if we choose. It’s astounding how many users don’t bother to install an adblocker and it would be a massive improvement for those users who don’t know better.

        There’s been more than one occasion that I’ve used a family member’s PC and they have Firefox installed without a single extension, they didn’t even know that extensions existed.

  Use LibreWolf. It’s Firefox with pre-installed uBlock Origin and pre-configured privacy settings. It also doesn’t have any of the Firefox bloat like Pocket

    No way I’m giving market share to gecko and, thus, to Mozilla. I just point how how hypocrite they are.

  Blockers need to be an extension, keeps everyone honest.
