If mozilla was a paid software on steam I would buy it for a one time payment up to $20.
I would like to avoid giving my payment details to the browser directly as I see it as a risk of some malware misusing them to take my money.
After a few years (like 4) I would probably consider buying "Mozilla 2" for another one time payment up to $20 if the mozilla I bought becomes "end of life".
I would never buy "mozilla" from a microsoft store or android/apple appstore.
I would not give a cent or continue using mozilla if ublock origin becomes not supported. Any kind of forced ads or restriction on adblocking will make me forget mozilla ever was a thing.
- oskarkk 2y agoWhy Steam? I get that Microsoft/Google/Apple are also competing in web space, so it would be bad for Firefox to give fees to its competitors, but as far as I know Steam purchases also have fees like 30%. The features and marketing that Steam provides may be worth it for games, but for Firefox there is no upside to handling payments through Steam.
- reportgunner 2y agoI buy software on Steam, I don't buy it elsewhere and won't start buying it elsewhere just because of firefox. > as far as I know Steam purchases also have fees like 30% perhaps firefox could ditch google and get picked up by Valve? (in terms of funding/ownership)
