I still think this is a good thing. Yes the world would be better with less advertising, but that isn't practical. Modern internet needs ads for monetization.

I can't say I trust any other ad agency to make private ads. Given Mozilla's name recognition, it of all privacy focused companies can do something about it.

Though I'll admit that this push to ads is costing a lot of user trust.
