Did you read the article? Your link supports the point it was making: Mozilla doesn’t mention ad blocking anywhere. It’s immediately brought up in the comments, but Mozilla itself doesn’t want to broach the topic.

Years ago, Mozilla would explicitly call ad blocking a privacy feature, and proclaim it explicitly.

Now they don’t.

Again, a reminder that Mozilla plans to continue support for the Manifest Version 2 blocking WebRequest API (this API powers, for example, uBlock Origin) while simultaneously supporting Manifest Version 3.

Ahem! https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/ > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/adblocker/

Cooking up conspiracy theory instead of research is easy, is not it?

Hey look, years ago.

And your other page was 2018.

Incorrect, that’s actually from 2022 B.C.

And your other page was 2018

Correct, the snap of article from 2018 looks exactly identical to 2024 instance with ZERO modifications. Mozilla finally gave us on Privacy it seems, as no one bothered to update that page since 2018.

Wait a sec, they also haven’t updated this article as well since 2020. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/compare/chrome/
