Wow, I didn't know that. This is perverse in several ways:
Funding for Firefox development comes from Google, which is pushing Chrome in such a way that is destroying the web.
Funding for Mozilla's non-Firefox projects probably comes mostly from Firefox users.
I want to donate to Mozilla exclusively for Firefox development - yet the only thing that my money will not be used for is Firefox, and I strongly disapprove of many of their other projects that my money would actually go to.
This is just a mess.
- anonymousab 5y agoIIRC their mullvad resell vpn is run through the corp, so if you want to donate just to the product side of things, buying that service may be the clearest way. But even then, there's no guarantees on how the money gets shuffled around.
- fabrice_d 5y agoIf you want to support Firefox development financially, you can subscribe to Mozilla's commercial services: their VPN, and Pocket.
- solarkraft 5y agoBut the VPN is worse than the service it rebrands. And I don't want to support the way they integrate or run Pocket (even though I mostly like Pocket).
- mort96 5y agoAm I literally the only person on earth who remembers that Mozilla promised to open-source Pocket when they acquired it? Why is nobody talking about that? Why aren't the usually-angry mob of mozilla haters up in arms about it?
- Arnavion 5y agoI assume anyone who hasn't already disabled Pocket doesn't care about it being open-sourced.
