A quick search suggests 86% of Mozilla's 2020 revenue came from their Google deal. I haven't heard of any major funding changes at Mozilla, so I would guess that is still the case. 80+% of their revenue up in smoke sounds pretty dire.
They would certainly need to come up with something on the quick.
- metadat 3y agoDoes Mozilla spend more than 14% of the annual budget on maintaining and improving Firefox? Based on the past few years of releases, I suspect not.. I wouldn't much mind or likely even notice if 98% of their other efforts halted (including political activities). Imagine a world where Mozilla shifted focus solely to creating a technically excellent web browser.
- giancarlostoro 3y agoI've said it before. If Mozilla stopped with their nonsense and charged an optional $9 a month for a Developer build of Firefox (which ALREADY exists mind you) under the guarantee that all proceeds would go to funding Firefox, I would pay it every month. They're not even needing to build a new type of Firefox browser build, Developer edition already exists. If you tell your potential customer base that this would be the case, I'm sure plenty of devs would buy into it. Especially if they invest in dev tool enhancements. There's still so many random things I'm astounded that not even Chrome Dev Tools can capture, like if I'm debugging postMessage, why isn't there a tool to see what messages are going from what document to what host and so on. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
