I must have missed the HN discussion when Mozilla announced they plan to sell [ads based on] browsing history... I'm not sure how that fits in with putting privacy first.

It sounds like user info is the only things worth selling!

My understanding of how the ads work is that the browser downloads a list of ads tagged by category, and chooses one to display based on browsing history that never leaves your computer.
