At that stage they are not hiding that they are a ads and AI company anymore.

Everyone: Mozilla should find new revenue streams in order to become truly independent.

Mozilla: We're open to suggestions

Everyone: …

Mozilla: We're going to explore doing so in an organic method across our products using the methodology that big tech is generating money, but with a Mozilla spin.

Everyone: How dare you!

If Mozilla is engaging in unethical behavior that publicly violates its own alleged principles, people can point it out.

But sure, here are a few suggestions:

  1. Continue finding white label services they can sell, such as Mozilla VPN
  2. Create a donation system using GNU Taler that you can put towards websites you visit, like brave Rewards already has.
  3. Allow users to give donations explicitly to Firefox development instead of Mozilla itself.
  4. End the $65 million in donations towards AI.
  5. Follow typical market forces and lower the CEO pay instead of raising it by nearly $2 million.

Hm yes, the "we're built different so we won't be affected by enshittification" option

that support advertising in clients (Firefox, MDN, Pocket, Fakespot, etc)

Ah, the "Mozilla Spin" is to put fucking ads in Firefox, got it.
