    The ads on default search partner is a fine compromise - reality is that projects need money, and if this helps them (and makes it less dependant on donations) then great! As long as the ad blocking happens elsewhere, it is fine.I need to move back to waterfox again...

    Feels like the real problem isn’t ads, it’s that there’s no widely accepted funding model for open source.

    Had the pleasure of working with Alex while at System1. Great guy. If I remember correctly I got one tiny change merged into Waterfox that's probably since been undone in the years since :-).

    Interesting I've never heard of waterfox before. Looks interesting!

    I love how "15 Years of Forking" is right next to "There is no Spoon" on the HN homepage right now :D

    Everyone starts out pure but then the lucre calls.> Waterfox’s approach of allowing text ads on the default search partner page is our own decision for sustainability"Sustainability" indeed.
