The new Mozilla CEO says he could block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that it would bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that. Lmao. This guy has really lost the plot. Is he issuing threats to the users of an open-source project? Boy, what a disaster.

Not long after Brave launched, a Mozilla employee told me that during an all-hands meeting, their leadership openly laughed at the idea of Brave. It was a good demonstration of just how easy it is to underestimate new ideas. Our mission was simple: put the user first and give

Good thing @Brave blocks Recall, even though MS, after disastrous launch with Recall opt-out, made it opt-in. It still captures sensitive info as @TheRegister reports. I sense a bad game of Whack-a-mole is afoot.
