It seems like a profit-driven thing to me. Big piles of anonymized data are worth a pretty penny.
Importantly, if you have already opted out of sending data to Mozilla, this change will not affect you. It only sends data if you have the setting turned on. It takes just a few clicks to entirely disable it, and Mozilla deletes all record of your browser within 30 days from turning off this feature. If you're worried about it, do it now, it's just under Settings > Privacy & Security. Instructions are also linked in the blog post.

TL;DR, the author argues that capitalism went wrong starting with the Reagan administration. Laissez-faire capitalism is clearly a mistake, and they argue that we should push back and establish a more progressive form of capitalism.
As a socialist, I would be thrilled if this became the mainstream view. We need to start taking steps toward a more progressive society. Starting by taxing the rich, getting money out of politics, and stricter regulations on business and wealth.
It's just kind of a funny thing to say "progressive capitalism". Capitalism itself is a regressive system... but the ideas presented here are indeed good. I like seeing this in WaPo.
That’s the joke
A non-profit can, in fact, profit, but it has specific rules on what it can do with those profits. Tax law is a rabbit hole and I don't even wanna peer in
