   I'm curious: How many of the people who complain about #Mozilla ToS pay for Firefox? What's the ratio between overall users and small donors?

     @ed LMAO WHAT?!

     You expect any of are paying the malicious entity that holds Firefox hostage and enshittifies it?

     Mozilla does not use any donations they get to maintain Firefox in your interest. They use them to pay executives who make it worse and invest in scammy adtech acquisitions.

     @ed Firefox would be 1000x better if Mozilla went under tomorrow. Because there would be no malicious entity with an air of legitimacy to control it, only the free software and a chance to redo right what went wrong after Netscape.

     @ed No, let's get VC-brained capitalists masquerading as a benevolent foundation out of our core software infrastructure.
