    Oh look we’re back to the “open source software can’t survive on its own without gobs of money and million-dollar CEOs wah wah wah” again.

      Wtf you on about?

      The grand majority of all costs for Firefox are in engineering salaries. And there is no million dollar CEO relating to the nonprofit’s expenses, that CEO is paid for from funds from the for profit organization.

      Browsers are CRAZY expensive to build and maintain. And teams of engineers are crazy expensive.

          Thank you for making no effort to engage in conversation and instead trying to shut it down because it doesn’t agree with you.

          Insinuating that I’m repeating talking points as a way to dismiss my opinion is the kind of bad faith comments no one wants here.

            You started your quest for good faith engagement with “Wtf you on about?”

            You’re not just a corporate simp, you’re a hypocrite as well. I don’t want to engage in conversation with people like you, there’s no point.

      Fiy, the Mozilla Foundation is one of the highest rates charities on Charity Navigator.

      They don’t always make the best choices as far as product direction, but as a charity, they are quite respectable.

    Its interesting they don’t have all the services Proton does. I’d pay them for a email and VPN combo.

      I don’t think the EU will let it die. Maybe Mozilla dies and Firefox gets reborn as a EU (ZENDIS?) project.
