Mozilla acquiring an ad company is something of a bad sign though.
The BBC is a respected broadcaster in the UK that shows no ads as it is government funded. They have investments abroad that have ads showing their programs, for profit to fund more programming. It doesn't change their mission. In fact, some shows have cone from their for-profit division. You can have values and be for the people but still live on the real world.
No, it's not government funded. It's funded by the people from a yearly licence fee, so has no ads. This is how it stays politically impartial too (mostly).
