    Considering how little they invest into their core product compared to all the other shit and how much money the top brass earns despite declining market share, I don’t think they’re hurting for money that much.

      They are investing a lot in their core product. Problem is that you can’t really monatize it. You want Firefox to be paywalled?

        Ideally it would be financed by user donations. Probably not that realistic for a project like this, though.

          Yeah, web browsers cost hundreds of millions per year to maintain, they’re mind-bogglingly complicated and costly.

          I’d really hope the Linux Foundation would help contribute towards the budget, but LF is quite pro Chromium.

          I don’t think end users can even come close to funding Firefox development, unfortunately.

          You can’t finance a massive project like that with donations. This isn’t like Signal or some small project like that. Firefox is MASSIVE.
