maybe its just me, but as useful and nice to know as this is, I really want Mozilla to focus their efforts on making a good browser, not to spend money doing everything but that.
There are a lot of anti-features (studies, pocket, telemetry, “sponsored suggestions”, etc…) that are justified in “we have to make money somehow” but then they spend it on this stuff.
This particular issue is important enough that I’m glad they did it. We needed somebody to do it, and if that means a tiny bit of funding was diverted from browser work, I think it was more than worth it.
(Also, the Mozilla Foundation is not the same as the Mozilla Corporation.)
Sure, I mean I want them to focus their energy on it.

Hot take: their browser is good.

Their goal is a healthy and open internet, with the browser being one method of achieving that.
