Mozilla also needs this for their own ad business: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-anonym-raising-t...

Oh goodie the latest Mozilla C-level "playing VC" expedition! Anything to not focus on the actual core business.
Makes you wonder how much it would cost to "just" do Firefox. I'm sure it's not free and there is some overhead in terms of management, politics, work on standards, fundraising, legal, and perhaps a little marketing.

Still, what we need to raise collectively to have a modern browser, built on "not chrome" and with none of the services or other programs Mozilla is running?

Mozilla wants it. I suspect that it's Google that _needs_ Mozilla to also run ads.
