"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."
Firefox CEO and developers need to clarify what he meant by this and if any blocking ad blockers in Firefox is on the table

100% agree. The new CEO needs to be removed immediately

This new CEO will be the reason everyone leaves firefox, Just go work with chrome or bing if you want this garbage.

The fact that he "feels" it is only "off-mission", rather than being fully aware of the fact that it is in opposition and completely incompatible with mozillas mission, is pretty telling, with regards to this qualifications. Or rather lack thereof.
This is an incredible display of dangerous incompetence and detachment from reality, at the highest level of leadership of mozilla. This guy needs to be removed from his position as quickly as possible, before he can catastrophically and irreversibly damage the company. Right now, he's only caused severe damage to their image, that could probably still be fixed. Every day he is allowed to continue running the company, makes that harder and less likely, while increasing the risk of further harm to mozilla.

Welp. The ease of using adblockers was literally the reason I switched to Firefox. I was already looking at alternatives with the sneaky implementation of AI with a hidden opt-out button, but this made my mind up. It's really not the same company it once was.

Sounds like a threat.
