Mozilla has decided to remove advertisements from Firefox

By Chastity Mansfield1 min readGoogle News

When a company or organizations wants to make money from one of their products, but knows that charging people to use it would most-likely cause them to switch to a competitor, they usually turn to advertising or premium subscriptions. Mozilla chose the former when looking for ways to monetize Firefox, but for an organization whose ethics tend to put it against the online advertising industry, finding a way to use advertisements without going against its own moral codes has seriously limited its options. Because of this, Mozilla has decided to do away with its advertising experiment, such as the ad-filled New Tab page, in favor of content discovery.
