Firefox is Mozilla's flagship, and the largest by far way in which we achieve our mission, but our goal is a healthy and open internet.

Additionally, this is a great way to determine whether something like this would work well as an in-browser feature, and we've built it in such a way that it works in more browsers than just Firefox on day one.

Sure wish other browser vendors would consider other browsers when releasing their products.

Unsure why this seems controversial. Google is an advertising company, not a Web browser company.
An advertising company with 60,000 employees whose interests overlap with this forum ;)

Most of the wealth in silicon valley comes from productizing eyeballs.
