I posted this elsewhere. But I think it hits the nail on the head where this is all going:

Not bad. Not quite the tone I would have come up with, but it's one of those cases "lots of nails to hit on the head!"

A friend of mine posted this a while back.

So, to me this made Mozilla top of the list evil ... but they're telling us about it! Are any other browsers doing this without saying so?!

Is Sphere owned/run by Mozilla? If not then it's just advertising. If Sphere is evil, that doesn't make Mozilla evil.

Don't click the ad if you're not interested.
