Time to start blocking all FF domains and IP addresses. Just like Facebook.

I'm paying for a search engine subscription, do I have to pay for a browser too?

Honestly, if it was actually economically viable and made all bullshit go away, I'd happily pay for a browser.

I don't think Mozilla could switch to that model without significant restructuring the likes of which they've little inventive to go for.

You may not use any of Mozilla’s services to:

Do anything illegal or otherwise violate applicable law,

So is Mozilla saying that you can not use Firefox to access pirated media, recommend abortion clinics, denounce the Palestinian genocide, etc?
