> "Innocent Mozilla" wouldn't exist today, first because apparently there's always something to complain about, and second because those people also feed families and pay bills.
Do you think companies have to be unethical to feed their families or pay bills?
I think we need to tone down our understanding of "unethical" to something reasonable. There's nothing unethical about Firefox having a Google homepage.
If you start digging too deep, it's unethical we get up from bed in the morning at all.
The problem is it's become a cultural phenomenon to hate big corporations, as a way to offset our guilt for using their products and services. Ask anyone and they'll tell you how much they hate unethical Big Oil and they may even tell you so while using oil-produced electrical power or driving a gas-powered car.
If enough people really cared, they'd change their homepage from Google to something else. They don't. Ergo I guess we're all unethical. Or maybe we need to stop lying to ourselves and realize the world is shades of gray, not black and white.
