Mozilla's funding comes primarily from search partners (namely Google)[0][1] - I don't think they could do this and still survive as a company at this point, sadly.
At the same time, if every Firefox user donated even $1 to Mozilla, they wouldn't need to take this money[2], and could probably be a bit more carefree in these decisions.

- kilovoltaire 12y agoHaha wow thanks for the info. I had no idea that they're almost entirely funded by an ad company (Google); so much for that idea!
