> Firefox gets into the adblocker business

This would be an abysmal decision all around. Firefox doesn't have enough market share to command any sort of price for this, and selling ad-blocker access would immediately destroy all trust in Firefox as a product.

They already make hundreds of millions just for allowing google as default search engine, they can make more with this.

I re-read what I said and it is in plain english, why are you and others not understanding that I didn't say selling ad blocker access? Ad blocker default exempt list is what is sold which users can change. And you can still use ad blocking extensions.

Basically a ton of people get an adblocker by default and you people have your pitchforks out because mozilla sells the default setting of an adblocker? Your emotions and open source religion aside what exactly offends you about this?
