There’s no way individual donations from ordinary people could match Google’s. They’re also likely to be less reliable.
Thank god. I do really believe all the Google money is actively stifling innovation at Mozilla. The only thing they can’t do is building a better browser than chrome is, for fear of becoming a viable alternative again.
So they use the money for some CEO pay. and weird projects while Firefox further falls from popularity.
I hope for the day Firefox’s market share has dropped to a level tha Google just won’t pay any money anymore for the default search engine deal.
That day - and not one day before - innovation will resume.
And this is why we not only need to reduce our dependence on China in the long run but also our dependence on the US.
There’s just no way a sovereign state live while depending on US monopolies.
