Mozilla is very active on privacy advocacy and highlights Firefox’s privacy as a feature[0]. This makes some sense because the features of Firefox (cookie blocking, containers, first class ad blocking) all help preserve your privacy better than Chrome or Edge. As part of this advocacy space they’ve also done things like “privacy not included”[1] (the asterisk and lowercase are intentional, similar to the 1987 movie “batteries not included”).

Yes and no. Some of it seems genuine, but then you had the pocket debacle, as well as offering Google as the default search engine.

They're all for privacy (which is a selling point) until there's money on the line.

Much like Apple.
