(Would others? I don't think I have ever seen anyone defend that part of the equation. With Wikipedia's similar insanity--begging for donations to keep their servers on when they don't spend the money on that--I have at least seen some people who like what they do spend their money on as important to them, but I don't think I have ever seen anyone actively want to donate money to Firefox's random side projects instead of Firefox.)
- zihotki 2y agoYou don't need to go far. Just look at the Thunderbird. People are donating to support it.
- sundarurfriend 2y agoI believe saurik is talking about Mozilla's spending on "advocacy" and other non-product causes, not actual products like Thunderbird. While there are a few actual products other than Firefox (like Thunderbird), most of the "distractions" kstrauser speaks of are of a much less tangible nature that basically amount to "whatever catches Mozilla management's fancy that month".
- kstrauser 2y agoProbably not, but you know if I left that out, someone would claim the opposite just for contrariness.
