Mozilla Being Hypocritical?

I saw on another blog that Mozilla has placed the Adblock Plus add-on onto their list of recommended add-ons. At the same time, Mozilla is said to have brought in $72 million in revenue in 2005, most of it from Google Search ads. Is this hypocritical? I would say so. For those of us in this business, including Mozilla, ad revenue is very, very important in our ability to bring content to the internet. For Mozilla to play a proactive roll in helping people block ads only helps to cut a major source of revenue.

I really like Mozilla and drool over their browser, but this recommendation of their’s does rub me the wrong way a bit.
