You cannot. Most of their funding comes from one source: Google, and that is pay per impression largely. Unless they get another large source of funding to offset what they're going to continue to lose, then they will shrink until they disappear.
- taneq 3y agoDo they need another large source of funding? Everything I’ve read about Mozilla seems to say that they only spend a small fraction of their income on Firefox. Maybe FF could spin off the way Thunderbird did.

They spent 88% of income in 2020. 56% in 2021 through a combination of more income and less expenses. Mozilla Foundation expenses were 7% of of all expenses in 2021. What did you read? Where did you read it?
