The current CEO pushed out the person that was supposed to come back from medical leave of cancer to be the CEO. That story never got enough likes on this site though.
Anyway, the board and CEO did shady stuff so who knows what direction they will take Mozilla
I was actually surprised to find out that Firefox has ads on the new tab page. Discovered this when I accidentally forgot to turn off my VPN connection to an US server and Firefox took this as a sign to display ads. You can turn them off manually in the settings but since I never got them in Europe, I'd left the setting on its default value ("Please show me ads").
As a way of really saving yourself time or making a statement?
Based on what assumption?
