Mozilla to bankroll Firefox with paid-for premium extras
- Prime_Evil 7y agoI'm not sure that this is necessarily a bad thing if they keep the browser itself free. They are not taking away any existing functionality but building strategic partnerships with third-party service providers to offer premium services. This could work, provided that they choose their partners wisely and don't shove the premium tier down everyone's throat. Firefox needs to find ways to remain relevant in a market increasingly dominated by Google-based technologies and offering privacy-focused services is a good start. They also need an independent revenue stream to ensure they survive the hard times ahead as even Microsoft's browser offering migrates to a Chromium-based stack.
