Recently, Mozilla rolled out a shopping checking extension that only works on big monopolies like Walmart and Amazon, and has been criticized by small businesses for being unfair against their products.

The Mozilla subsidiary behind this, FakeSpot, also sells private user data to advertiser companies.

So I can definitely understand why you might run away from a company that's not honest about promoting an open and free web when it's pushing the monopolies with their tools.
