It's a for profit ad company making a "privacy first browser".

Thinking for literaly a second about that sentence should tell you all you need to know.

    you can do privacy friendly ads, it's not because the entire industry has evolved to an horrible point that the good way of doing it can't exist

    This is true. Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics used to run and maintain a good sort of ad service called Project Wonderful, that catered to webcomics and blogs and didn't track users. Sadly he shut it down in 2018.

    Currently I know of Comicad Network that's trying a similar kind of thing.

    it's the best browser out there right now. did you know it has the TOR net and ad blocking built in? great huh?

    where does firefox make its money

    IS IT FROM GOOGLE SEARCHES?

    so what have the owners done to the lgbtq+ community in the last 5 years?

    Customized firefox, zen browser, helium, and mullvad all with some kind of assortment of privacy extentions.

    On Android, we got ironfox and cromite. most of the same privacy extentions are applicable.

    If you want to use the tor network, go use the tor browser.

    Frankly, I do not care that much that Mozilla makes most of its money from Google. I can change the search engine as the first thing I do and this fact simply stops affecting my experience negatively, especially on Firefox derivates.
