> Mozilla is [...] made a shift over the last few years from a scrappy, low-rent, nonprofit dedicated to helping the web to just another data mining tech company.

This is a delightfully concise summary of Mozilla today. I was a Mozilla contributor in the "scrappy" years and became one of those listed on /about/owners.html. But Mozilla today is basically unrecognizable. A few years ago, even after I'd stopped contributing, it made me sick to my stomach to think about where things have gone, but I can process it better nowadays.

Mozilla's done worse than what's written in OP, but the absolute worst they can do is continue getting people to believe they're the same scrappy organization fighting for good.

If you believe in the Mozilla mission, then use Firefox, I guess, because there's not really a better option. (Although I suppose a WebKit-based browser should be an acceptable equivalent.) But please don't give Mozilla any money or tell people that Mozilla is their friend. It sort of tarnishes how things were around the time when you could say that and it was actually true all the way through.
