Very fair point. My bad, I expressed myself poorly. What I meant with ‘targeted ads’ was to show ads not on the browser itself but to people who might be more easily convinced to use Firefox. For example, there’s a huge amount of viewers on YouTube that are tech-oriented. Nobody is stopping Firefox from sponsoring creators, videos or even collaborating with them.
I have watched the video and if you think he wasn’t being honest, you probably are one of those people you mentioned that fall on the spectrum.
He might’ve used the tone of a joke, but he’s been saying for a while now how he plans to “get back at those who wronged him”. Hell, he even said that the GOP is impeaching Biden only because “they did it to him first”.
I am shocked people like you think he’s not being serious: he’s literally telling you.
