You couldn’t have said it better. If money and revenue is an issue, then why keep chasing the next shiny thing.
Just last month, they had a press release announcing they’ll incorporate AI into their product suite. In my opinion, the release was just a buzzword laden nonsense. I just don’t see the why other than to keep themselves relevant.
I agree and I am going to give them benefit of doubt until they issue a statement or address it.
I really love Firefox, but I dislike some of the initiatives the for-profit arm, Mozilla Corporation, is taking. This is another head scratcher moments for me. I want my browser to be just a browser. I don’t want Pocket, Google Search, nor any other nonsense.
I get that they are subsiding the development costs of Firefox, but surely, there must be other avenues to generate revenue. It is really hypocritical of Mozilla when they market Firefox as a privacy focused alternative to Chrome/Edge/Safari and then bundle ads and sponsored nonsense.
Mozilla partnered with Onerep (the company investigated by Brian Krebs) for their privacy monitoring service. The CEO of Onerep is linked to numerous “people lookup” websites.
It does sound like a conspiracy and I am advocating to wait until Mozilla addresses the concern. In my opinion, it’s likely an oversight and failure to do their due diligence.
Apologies! The links must not have copied over from my post on firefox@lemmy.ml! I’ll update the post with the correct links.
Edit: I updated the original post with the correct links.

I personally would stick to *sense. I personally used OPNSense there’s a huge community backing, well documented, and actively maintained. I like to use the CLI, but using the Web GUI was a breeze and I mainly wanted to set it and forget it.
There are a few 5x 2.5g N100 for $120-130 USD range on AliExpress. I grabbed one a while back for my own network.
I am pretty sure 2.5GBe will work over normal/standard CAT5 and Cat5e cable. It’s the upstream switch that you’ll need to replace.
