I'm okay with Mozilla trying to diversify their source of incomes, as long as it's focused on privacy. Firefox Relay is a great example of a paid service that helps preserving some privacy and I gladly pay for it.

I hope they'll make more privacy-focused optional services like that. If it helps paying for Firefox continued development while detaching from Google then it's a good idea.

They've got some pretty interesting stuff in the pipeline, like container tabs optionally being hooked up to their own independent Mozilla VPN connection.

IMO I think they're going to go all in eventually offering a kind of "privacy ecosystem" similar to Proton
