📝 Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?

In an interview with “The Verge”, the new Mozilla CEO, Enzor-DeMeo, IMHO hints that axing adblockers is something that, at the very least, was on the table in some form and at some point. From the article:

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.

It may be just me, but I read this as “I don't want to 😜 😜 but I'll kill AdBlockers in Firefox for buckerinos 😂”. This disappoints and saddens me a lot, and I hope I'm wrong. [...]

Heute auf einem Mini-PC im LAN einen zweiten Pi-Hole samt Unbound eingerichtet.

Jetzt darf der erste mal offline gehen (etwa für ein Backup), ohne dass der Ad-Blocker fehlt.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter to the advertising agencies whether #adverts work: what matters is whether the agencies can persuade clients that adverts work. As long as they can do that, and as long as we have inadequate legislation, the zone will be flooded with adverts.

The question of whether adverts actually work is notoriously hard to answer, because it's difficult to tie a sale to an advert. That's one reason companies track us so hard on the Web — to see which #advertising campaigns are most effective — but we can defeat that tracking with a good #AdBlocker such as #uBlockOrigin and (in jurisdictions with a semblance of privacy legislation) by denying permission to track.

#Duckduckgo can go fuckfuck itself

Keep using your #adblocker and carry on.

Statt "#Ausweispflicht im #Internet" sollte die @EUCommission & @Europarl_DE lieber mal #AdBlocker verpflichtend enführen, weil das ist nicht nur #jugendschutz sondern auch #Verbraucherschutz!

#AdBlocker sind das wirksamste Mittel gegen Bedrohungen im Internet. Gehören zu den Grundlagen der digitalen Selbstverteidigung und sollten gesetzlich vorgeschrieben sein.

Nutzt ihr einen AdBlocker am PC und/oder Handy?
(Pi-Hole oder AdGuard mit entsprechenden Listen würde ich hier jetzt auch mal zu "Ja" zählen)

Falls nicht, warum nicht?
