This is an introduction from Mozilla president Mark Surman and comes with a companion piece, Improving online advertising through product and infrastructure, by Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers. Surman writes, "Mozilla can play a key role in creating better online advertising options not just by advocating for them, but also by building them." And Chambers writes, "Mozilla is going to be more active in digital advertising." As I read this, Mozilla is looking at a potential future where Google doesn't account for 80% of its revenue, and competing - instead of collaborating - with Google seems to be in the cards. But is privacy the key issue here? For me, it's being free from advertising. For me, being able to turn off unwanted messaging.
