donate to mozilla people
Yeah, because 500 M/year from Google are not enough. Gotta increase the CEO paycheck. Moreover, donations don’t even fund FF development.
and if more people donated they wouldn’t need alternative sources of funding…
Again, what you donate don’t fund FF development but goes toward Mozilla’s bullshit/activism/whatever/huge CEO paychecks. Who cares about that?
I for sure don’t. I will celebrate the day Mozilla disappears for good.
Mozilla CEO pay is $6M, and the rest of the board members are about $0.7M or less. Total executive compensation is a little under $10M.
Their total revenue is $64M. By and large, the money is going toward developers and activism, which is where it should go.
Feel free to donate, then. For all I care…
mozilla’s activism is part of the reason why i donate
Yeah, gotta love how their CEO donates to anti-gay causes.
you’re thinking of braves ceo, brendan eich
It’s weird to call for the disbandment of a relatively small company producing one of the major alternative browsers for what would otherwise be a monopoly.
What is Mozilla doing that Google and Apple aren’t doing but worse? Why direct all this negative energy at the small one keeping things tolerable?
Major alternative? At 2.x% market share? You people are very delusional. By the way, the shitty market share is exclusively Mozilla’s fault, even if they’re always complaining about evil Google (while they take that sweet 500 M/years from that evil company and waste them on anything but fixing their shitty browser). Mozilla is ascummy/scammy company that should have died years ago. I’ll celebrate their fall.
Of all the alternatives, it is the most major one.
(Except for Apple devices where Safari is an option).So because they take money from Google but don’t effectively challenge the monopoly, they ought to be done away with? All Hail our Chromium overlords!
I agree that the exec salaries could use a heavy trimming to the benefit of their actual R&D, but right now, they’re the biggest challenger to the dominance of Chromium. They could be better, sure, but I’d rather have mediocrity than no choice at all.
They aren’t challenging anything, don’t be delusional. But, hey, I can’t stop you from believing their narrative, (and in fairy tales) if that can make you happy.
What would you prefer then? For Firefox to stop existing, so that we all finally have to use Chromium?
for what would otherwise be a monopoly.
Firefox only gets funding from Google to prevent the US government from stepping in to break up a monopoly.
Yeah that’s common knowledge, but that’s also the problem.

You have to be born yesterday to believe this.
The business will do whatever they believe will make them the most amount of money.
I use Firefox (and forks) myself but wouldn’t donate to it. It’s like Wikipedia - a great project with a shitty parent company which’ll spend all of your donations on shit projects.
It saddens me to see musk propaganda at work :(
How’s musk related to this one?
Simple, he wants the wikipedia and since he cant have it he decided to trash it publicly.
Umm… no.
If Mozilla needs more resources for their browser, they can stop paying their CEOs so much and replace analysts with engineers.
They can also stop wasting their resources on projects nobody cares about.
i didn’t think you understand how funding works
They said they’re not going to provide the foundation with additional funding while the foundation is spending their money in ways they disagree with. What is the specific misunderstanding?
