So, is this a good thing? Should I worry? While Mozilla is presented as a shareholder of Cliqz. It appears to be a minority shareholder and the majority shareholder seems to be a media company, for a Ad/Privacy blocker... I'm not sure how to feel about it.


I think this is a great thing. I have been reading about Cliqz and what they published [0], [1] and I believe they are quite serious about privacy, as a matter of personal opinion, so serious I find it hard to draw a parallel between them and any other player in the industry. If no personal identifiable information is collected to start with, and as they call it, "privacy by design" is guaranteed, then it really matters very little who is a shareholder.
