Tbf Mozilla needs money to keep doing good work, and I don't mind "paying" for Firefox like that when the only alternatives are "paying" by letting Google track and sell my personal data.
That is true. But honestly, when it comes to software I'd just rather be left alone, it's why I moved from Windows in the first place.
I totally wouldn't mind donating to Mozilla in some other way though.
I'm pretty sure they accept donations
Good to know, I'll be sure to donate then
That money's going to Mozila tho (or the Mozilla foundation or something, I never get the exact details right without looking up).
Anyway, the point is it will not be used to fund Firefox development if that is where you intend it to go. Can't, for legal reasons or other bs.
Probably no harm in donating whatsover, they do other great stuff aswell, just YSK.
as far ar I know:
the corporation builds the browser
the foundation does activism (and owns the corporation)
MZLA only exists because thunderbird needed some legal entity after Mozilla handed it over to the community
don't donate. they don't go to the browser
buy the VPN if you can. or pocket premium if such thing exists. those go to the browser
