@NetscapeNavigator said in Mozilla is advertising company:
I miss the days of Netscape Navigator, and jumped over to Phoenix, which later became Fire Bird, which ultimately became Firefox.
Looks very similar to me. I was a hardcore Netscape user — I think my first one was Version 1 or 2 still on Windows 3.11 — switched to Mozilla later and went along with the evolution to Firefox. Was my main browser ever since, and I was a fanboy (including proudly wearing Firefox shirts *lol*)
But the development with Mozilla over the last few years became weird and now with the changed ToS and other involvements I finally jumped ships about 2 months ago to Vivaldi which is my new daily driver since then.
When I see what Mozilla is doing presently, I think it was the right decision. Even though the good times and the rebel times will never be forgotten.
Sadly, it looks like Mozilla becomes what the once fought, and that is a shame. Especially in times like this where a truly free internet becomes more and more rare and everything becomes increasingly restricted and controlled.

- what does "ad attribution" even mean?
- Why would I be required to even try to understand a configuration file, with such an absurd complexity? https://downloads.vivaldi.com/lists/vivaldi/partners-current.txt
- Is it really so difficult to explain in a few words what Vivaldi does?
Should I ask chatgpt?
No, sorry: the burdain of communication is on the shoulders of whom is communicating.
