   I can't believe this. Is this Google money speaking? Mozilla's massive lapse in judgment causes a clash with the uBlock Origin developer.

     This applies everywhere, and if you remember this everytime something upsets you, your life will become significantly more pleasant ;-)

     @nixCraft This is Google's desperate attempt to wring a few dollars out of advertisers delivering ads to people who are actively seeking to avoid them. This doesn't bode well for Google's profitability if they have to pick this fight. They can certainly force the situation but it's just a show for the stockholders and what good will remains will fade away.

     @nixCraft Bad blunder on Mozillas part.

     On the other hand I keep coming back to Firefox for 2 reasons, Lack of fuzzy fonts on Linux and uBlock Origin. As long as Mozilla does not do something stupid like block uBlock Origin I'm staying with Mozilla
