Before turning this into another Mozilla hate thread, we should consider the following:

1) Mozilla China is practically an independent organization and their Firefox builds have been quite different from "Normal" Firefox for a long time.

2) That error code is 451, "Unavailable For Legal Reasons", usually used to indicate government censorship.

Also, I believe this is related to a legal precedent against ad-blocking in China (https://adguard.com/en/blog/china-blocks-ad-blocking.html), which AdGuard notes that is ironic given that UC Browser has adblockers.

Was it not choices made by Mozilla which led to consideration 1 being possible? If so, isn't criticism of those decisions valid discussion.
