Firefox could enter a revenue share parternship with Bing, or another search engine. Or they could follow in Brave's (and Google's and Microsoft's) footsteps in creating a search engine in order to own such a lucrative advertising surface.
- jeltz 1y agoFirefox does not have any revenue issues at all. If the Mozilla exec team did not have to make themselves rich and sponsor various personal pet projects they could easily afford to develop Firefox basically forever.
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoYes, this. If cash is such a problem, exec comp packages have no business being as large as they are. That should be the first thing to get cuts. Personally speaking I’d be willing to donate if I knew my cash were going towards Firefox and Gecko. I already donate to other FOSS projects where it’s more obvious where the money is going.
- firefax 1y agoI'm surprised DuckDuckGo doesn't offer to sponsor them, but maybe they lack the income to make an offer comparable to Google?
