This was not about "making things better for people on the Internet," it was about a few individuals enriching themselves.

Mozilla Corp is fully owned by a non profit, so there's no owners getting rich off of any excess profits.

Saying ads are here to stay so you have to accept them or die, is an absurd false dichotomy

I'd love for nothing more than for there to be a viable alternative!

    They didn't sell your data before

    Firefox has been funded by ads from the beginning, and has had sponsored tiles (aka ads) since around 2014 I think?

    I personally think there's a difference between selling ads and selling your data too. I'm going to go on a limb and say you see no distinction.
