   @thunderbird @kariboka “The primary source of this capital is Google, which pays Mozilla to be the default search engine on the Firefox home page. Those payments, which started in 2005, have been increasing—up 50% over the past decade, to more than $450 million, even as the total number of Firefox users has plummeted. In 2021 these payments accounted for 83% of Mozilla’s revenue.”

   Brave Browser hasn’t been able to run out of profits These days, with bloatware, ‘free’ VPN, BAT coins (ads for its own crypto coin) and its search engine Brave Search, which, after all, will all turn into data that can be sold to advertising or artificial intelligence companies.

   I hope Mozilla doesn’t follow in the same footsteps and rely just on donations (not royalties) to remain a non-profit organisation.
