Shocking idea in 2022. No, but seriously, Mozilla — I'll pay you real dollars for this.

  too late for me. they fired a ton of engineering talent working on exciting tech (servo) to chase some bundled vpn rebrand. what a misguided move, like most everything they've done in non-engineering space. sad. before, i would have donated hundreds or more if there was a way to pay directly for firefox and thunderbird. but not anymore. at least the CEO's salary keeps going up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24563698 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24563698

    There's a way to directly donate to Thunderbird: https://give.thunderbird.net/en-US/ https://give.thunderbird.net/en-US/ Unfortunately, there's no such option for Firefox.

      At this point, I'm starting to wonder whether or not Mozilla leadership is controlled opposition.

        I don't doubt the sincerity of the individuals involved, but Google wouldn't pay Mozilla if they didn't think it was in their interests to do so.

        It is controlled opposition. And their CEO is not an engineer and has no clue how to manage engineers or run a software company; she's a lawyer.
