Could almost just get a patreon together, and then fund a developer from it? Because I think if you put out a job posting, working on firefox independent from Mozilla someone would take you up on it.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoThere are several Firefox forks supported by donations. LibreWolf and Pale Moon being just two examples. Inertia and network effects won't change quickly though
- spansoa 5y agoLibreWolf is awesome. Just make sure to check for updates to it since the updater mechanism is disabled as per the Policies.json file for it
- dblohm7 5y agoYou couldn't pay me to use Pale Moon. They have continuously demonstrated a poor understanding of web browser security. Take this thread, for example: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15168#p109681 https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15168#p109681
- soperj 5y agoI meant not a fork, but just a developer. I would love to work on Firefox full time without actually working for Mozilla. I'm sure you could find much more qualified candidates than me who would also do so.
