Well, what can you do?

Mozilla has a very unique problem. It's most ardent and loyal users are technically savvy. They expect a high quality, privacy-respecting, ad-free product.

But, here's the catch, they will not pay for it. How does Mozilla survive?

Google finances Chrome through its Search/Ad business. Safari and IE costs are bundled in the cost of the devices/OS they are on.

How should Mozilla survive? Should they go the shareware route and have a paid copy for 20$ ?

They have to make money somehow.
