Interesting look at the makers of Firefox. It may or may not surprise you

This is a must read. Thank you so much for posting, and take my biggest zap ever on SN.

TL;DR

  • Mozilla makes bilions but most of its money comes from a single client (Google).
  • They lie about Donations, and millions of dollars being donated by individuals who thought they were supporting a web browser — is being funneled into highly political far-left woke anti-white organizations.

Mozilla let me down some time ago. I used Firefox before it was even called Firefox. It was a kick-ass browser. It was leaner than everything else, which was useful given my computer wasn't new. Their wokeism turned me off, and I haven't been back since.

I had no idea. Thank you for sharing! I’m not a Firefox user but this makes me sad

Still believe Mozilla do good work, but it's depressing how all these foundations end up becoming opaque gravy trains that breed high paying non jobs.

I quit using plain Firefox a long time ago (prefer LibreWolf on Linux and Orion on MacOS) but I'm still shocked about how the money is being spent. I'm not surprised that Mozilla doesn't need user donations, just like Wikipedia doesn't, but my goodness the amount spent very questionably is eye-opening. Thanks for sharing. I'll make it a point to never support Mozilla directly, ever.

Thank you for posting this! I had no idea. Decided to replace Firefox with LibreWolf for now…

I think there is room in this space for a privacy browser built with Bitcoin (or Lightning, or some other layer 2) in mind. Think Brave without the shitcoin and spam referral links. It would be cool to zap a website/blog/video/anything straight from the browser. Value for value instead of ads, trackers, and the Cookie Monster.

Maybe call it B-Rowser?

LibreWolf is great, that's what i use and recommend.

Thanks for sharing. Any suggestions what’s a better alternative for Windows 10?

Firefox is fine. I'd focus on dumping Winblows for Linux. Maybe look at Mint or PopOS
