Because Google is a major source of funding for Mozilla. I don't remember details, but they tried to be funded by other search providers. It didn't provide enough funding, though.

I guess promoting Google search is essential for them to keep building great products. And guard net neutrality. If we don't like it, we are probably not donating enough.

I love Firefox, it's still a great browser, but it's really sad to have "management made us add this trash feature so Mozilla can keep the lights on" updates every couple of months.

I buy their VPN but can’t use it due to lack of Mac support. Nice way to support them and show them they can build useful services we will pay for simultaneously.

Mozilla VPN is now available on Mac![1] As of December last year I believe [2]

…in only a handful of markets. As a user in Sweden I wouldn’t complain too much, if it weren’t for the fact that the VPN platform they’ve built on is literally Swedish.

Shameless plug!

You can use MozWire[0] to generate wireguard configuration files for Mozilla VPN.

The reason I think about a Pocket Premium subscription. However I'd prefer paying 20$ a year with no perks (or let's say just the premium fonts) over paying 50$ for features I don't need.

money goes to mozilla, not firefox [1]

doesn't seems to be well spent [2]
