Anti-Consumerism Mozilla's new CEO has considered axing all ad blockers in Firefox to bring in more revenue

118 Upvotes

But has decided not to go ahead (for now).

He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission.

Got permenantly banned from /r/Firefox for saying Mozilla should choose merit over diversity.

This was a while ago but I got permenantly banned for that comment. I've sent multiple messages to mods to unban me but they ignore them. I've broken no rules in that sub.

Why are SJWs running so many damn subs? Back in 2012 you could say almost anything on reddit and you woundn't get censored like this. I've gotten banned from subs that I don't even post on due to having right wing beliefs.
