It looks like if you're a publisher you've partner up with Mozilla for this. Isn't this becoming a little dependent on Mozilla?

Publishers are already dependent on Google and if Google wants to screw them over, they can. How is this different from that?

It's not perfect, but I'd rather trust mozilla than google.

[robertAngst]

I'm the other way, google is probably the best company in my lifetime. Its recent Apple exploit 0day, I'm a bit skeptical of the programming.

Google has the resources to make better products.

True but for the past 5 years or so they have been interested in making more money not better products.

And yet I've had to switch all my Lubuntu devices to using Chrome because Firefox can't seem to manage to remain open without eventually locking up the entire system.

[eyeundersand]

I've had this problem too. Although I'd rather live with it than switch back to Chrome myself.

Did you try filing a bug report?

[AnIdiotOnTheNet]

If I had filed a bug report I would have then had to gather logs and other such things to get the developers whatever information they need to fix it, and frankly I just don't care about helping them fix it enough to bother with that. I didn't choose it for these devices it was just the default. For my purposes it was just much easier to switch to a browser that wouldn't hang the system if it was left open for a few hours.

Edit: I appreciate the downvotes, as though answering this question with honesty is undesirable behavior. Keep up the good work /r/svwebdev!

Publishers work with multiple ad networks to diversify their revenues, but the most they can diversify is around 30%.
