That’s a fair position, but let me ask. Are you donating to Mozilla on a monthly basis?
The Mozilla Corporation does not accept donations.
Sorta. The foundation does.
https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/donate/
Yes, and they don’t develop Firefox (legally can’t) since they made a for-profit entity for that purpose.
Hmm maybe I stop donating then… I’ll have to dig into where my money is actually going.
Yes. Just like I donate to my Lemmy host on a regular basis.
