Kore NordmannI've used Firefox as my main browser for more then 20 years now. I've always believed that the web needs alternative rendering engines (first next to Internet Explorer, now next to Chrome) and I strongly believe in Open Source (not free software). Mozilla's takes on Bitcoin and AI already were hard to bear with, but the recent changes in their terms of service made me now switch to Librewolf. Why can't we have good things and everything has to be run like an ever growing capitalist business?
David Soria Parra@kore generally the answer is money. People don’t want to pay for browsers or don’t want ads in their browsers making it very very hard to finance a project of that size
Johannes ✔️@dsp @kore money in Mozilla is an interesting problem ... One can donate to the foundation, but that doesn't go towards the browser development, but only to their political campaigns.
For browser development they got their corporation, but they are happy with Google's money and don't take mine.
And yes, at that size of the project it is tough: they can't simply take random GitHub doantions (or similar schemes), but require a bit more predictability, but I claim there are enough willing to pay
