Let. Me. Pay. For. Firefox. I pay for other services online. I pay for VPN, for ElementaryOS, for Fastmail. Paying is fine. I pay, you give me a service that does not spy on me. It is not that hard.

Have you ever donated? What services do you want that shouldn't be available to non-paying users.

Donating does not fund firefox. They "embezzle" it into funding all their other shit like internet censorship ("We need more than deplatforming" https://archive.li/U6aXc) Yes I did donate in the distant past.

To Mozilla? No. Donations are not the same as paying for a specific product or service. I do not want to support their other adventures.

Librewolf, but by Mozilla.

There is no way to donate to Firefox.

And now I just learned about NextDNS. I'm going to pay for that. Back in the day, people were unwilling to pay for Netscape, and Mozilla was born. Today, the world has shifted again, and there are more than enough people with enough money willing to pay for software. And again, Netscape^WMozilla is late to grok this.

> people were unwilling to pay for Netscape

To be fair, that was largely because Netscape was awful.

Well. yeah - okay - granted. But still. People would not pay for Opera either. I'd pay for (the old) opera today. Times have changed.
