 @davidrevoy Love your work, David. And it’s definitely not your fault that we live in the worst possible timeline but what’s missing in that image is the hand from Google giving Mozilla half a billion dollars. (Mozilla exists on roughly half a billion dollars from Google every year. Sadly, they’re not so much adversaries as partners.) 2 comments
@davidrevoy I hear you and empathise :) > if we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, the toxic adv industry wouldn't be such a monster If we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, Google would go bankrupt. When Google goes bankrupt, Mozilla would lose the half a billion dollars it needs from Google to survive so Mozilla would also go bankrupt. So the only way Mozilla and Firefox can continue to exist is if we don’t all use Firefox with UblockOrigin. That’s the gambit. |

@aral Thanks!
Yes, I knew that. Thank you for writing this, it is useful information.
It's hard to show all the subtle interactions and I had to sit on my own issues with Moz/Ff - e.g. all their failed non-sense side projects or recently their AI discourse to seduce investors.
It's a limitation of my illustration that I kept it as simple as possible to be more efficient with the message: if we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, the toxic adv industry wouldn't be such a monster.
