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…
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…
Time to switch and start donating to Mozilla.

Just subscribed to recurring donation to Mozilla. Thanks for reminder.
I don’t think Mozilla needs our donations. Like, at all.
In 2021:
But if we factor in donations:
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 and I still trust Firefox way more then Google.
There’s a huge difference between supporting something, and supporting it uncritically. I am in the former camp

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.
