People are pissed that firefox depends on google's money, and theyre also pissed when they try to make their own money.

I don't see anybody complaining about the act of Mozilla selling a VPN service, email masking service, or even their data removal service (until it was revealed their partner had a horrible track record, but Mozilla agreed with the community on that one).

Hell, I even saw partnering with Google as a necessary evil, although apparently Mozilla looked at the company famous for abandoning their "Don't be evil" mantra and decided to take a page from their playbook.

Maybe, people are complaining about a company doing bad things.

I just don't want to lose control of my device. I could care less about how poorly run Mozilla is.

Yeah it would be best if they could just create money, like the fed. Problem solved. :p
