New Mozilla's CEO isn't very good a veiled threats:

"He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission"

@jbz It's hard not to appreciate the irony of the article you linked not being viewable because I use an ad-blocker.

@jbz

$150 Mil?

Based on a fallacious assumption that people don't drop a burning dumpster browser 🙄

@genericperson @jbz : If you're using Firefox then the little reader button (or whatever it's called) nicely bypasses this paywall/nagwall.

@nlarson830 @jbz : Yeah, I'm guessing if Firefox were to block ad-blockers they'd see an overall revenue drop.
