To Mozilla: if your intentions are indeed good as you claim in your post[1], then update the ToS accordingly.
Chrome is removing µBlock origin, I and probably a lot of other users saw this as a good moment to promote Firefox to our relatives, you are missing a chance and alienating your user base here.

the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
* Any tool that allows to discriminate "for" allows to discriminate "against"
* What is the rational to be able to add "black-owned", but not "mexican-owned" or anything else, are mexicans not victims of discriminations ?
* What is the end game ? Black people go to black-owned businesses, white people go to white-owned businesses ? this kind of anti-racism looks a little bit like segregation to me.
