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.

Doesn't want to do that? Just like how 6 months ago, Sam Altman said he didn't want OpenAI to do adult content? Hopefully I'm overreacting, but I'm worried more about this kind of thinking than an AI feature.

    That's a long terme goal sadly :/ Either they're slowly doing this to avoid a mass movement to another browser (but which one :() or that's some inside job to slowly kill and let Firefox die ^^
