    Time to switch and start donating to Mozilla.

    I was still using Chrome for some things at work, just because that’s our assumed default, but I know enough to switch over there too now. Maybe I’ll update the documentation to help other people switch too…

      I don’t think Mozilla needs our donations. Like, at all.

      In 2021:

      • They received over $500 million from “royalties” e.g. Google.
      • They had $340 million in expenses

      But if we factor in donations:

      • They received $7.4 million in donations
      • Their CEO received a $5.5 million salary.

        The CEO needs to be fired and unstead it should be used for Development.

        They deoend on Google to keep it up.

          Lol, I love when Lemmy supports privacy focused stuff then turns against itself realizing it is still a company making money and requesting money.

          Yeah, I don’t mind them taking money from Google, but I wish more of that money would be spent on the browser and related software.

          They also recently acquired a shopping review checking add on, and they are trying to bloat up Firefox with it. Personally, I was upset they had purchased it, but I would have been less upset if it had just stayed an add-on…

            Sure but browsers don’t make that much money.

            People lambaste Mozilla for their non browser initiatives but I wonder how they expect mozilla to exist if the google money goes away.

              As I said in my previous comment, I have no problem with them accepting Google’s money. I just have a problem with how they then spend it.
