    I absolutely love how Mozilla has been calling out Apple, Google, and Microsoft. So good.

      They still gladly accept Google’s sweet money (while asking for donations). So brave of them! /s

          The point is, donations barely cover the “salary” of its president (7-something millions dollar) and funds allocated to dev dwindle each year. Which is plainly stated in their yearly reports. The google money is a large part of what makes it possible to do anything else than pay the board; the donations are the cherry on the cake at this point.

          Just? You call someone out and still accept money from them? Highly hypocritical behavior, if you ask me.

          Moreover, here it comes the cognitive dissonance of Mozilla’s fans: they say “the default search engine can be changed easily”, while a the same time they blame “Chrome/Edge being the default” for the low FF market share, when in reality installing a different app is easier for tech illiterates than changing the default search engine.

          Doublethink can be amazing.

            Your vitriol is pathetic and exhausting. Take all this energy you have and maybe advocate for what you think is a better browser rather than berating people. You may live in Spain and not be American, but your attitude and the way you present yourself, at least in comments, is glaringly American.

            “I vehemently hate dancing, to the point I can get upset even if someone just suggests it to me.”

            Holy shit, you lack the self control to keep composure at the fucking mention of dancing? I thoroughly pity your child.

            Take your fuckin’ meds, dude. Get help.

        Bluntly, where would Mozilla be without Google’s funding?

        Gone, probably.

        So while I agree that it is poisonous and there is something very wrong with Mozilla corporate structure, it is a necessary evil.

        Yeah, normies went from IE straight to Chrome.

        They’ll never admit when they were wrong.
