I have to say right now on Google+ and on other Social Media networks there are lots of people not taking the announcement well. I would say this is impacting at least a minority of our users feelings about Firefox.
A quick search of Google News shows 23 articles that talk in a negative light about the blog post by Darren. Here are some choice picks: http://adage.com/article/special-report-iab-annual-meeting/mozilla-sell-ads-firefox/291641/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57618750-92/mozilla-to-sell-new-tab-page-ads-in-firefox/ http://consumerist.com/2014/02/11/mozilla-goes-from-blocking-third-party-ads-by-default-to-displaying-ads-within-firefox/ It would be helpful to clarify what kind of sponsored content users might see either way my concern is this could rub some users the wrong way and they may go to other browsers as a result. It seems like it would have been better to hold off on blogging about this until some definitive examples could be provided. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
