That's a lie. You are still shown Pocket ads and AMO still uses Google Analytics which cannot be blocked (extensions cannot run on addons.mozilla.org).

About the rest: true, it's in the recent past, but Mozilla love to shoot themselves in the foot, so they will keep doing that kind of stuff.

I don't see any Pocket ads.

As for analytics, they need to use something. And disallowing extensions to run on addons.mozilla.org is a solid technical decision.

> but Mozilla love to shoot themselves in the foot

As opposed to some other influential tech company which always does the right thing?
