    You are assuming advertisers want something that is user focused. I don’t think this is going to be that successful as targeted ads need lots of user data.

    Also they only make money if you click on an ad. How often are you doing that? Spoiler: you shouldn’t

    What I wish they would do is create a way I could compensate websites from the browser. I want a monthly subscription that donates a small amount to all the websites I visit.

      Tangentially related: Mozilla’s big “draw” to this for advertisers is that they claim it will be able to (anonymously) track coversion rates. Not just click through but through to actual purchase. So advertisers can get true feedback on what works and what doesn’t, because clickthrough doesn’t directly correlate to sales.
