I agree with you, there are 1,000 different chat apps and just one Firefox. And the world needs Firefox more than it knows.

It looks like they might want to get into hosting/selling services to users on this.

From the FAQ:

> Is there going to be a hosted version if I don't want to deploy it myself? > Yes, we are planning to launch Thunderbolt for regular users but we do not have a release date yet.

There is "only one Firefox" but Firefox exists in a market that is not just commoditized, but subsidized to the tune of billions by 3 of the 10 largest companies in the world.

The world may need Firefox but it's funny how people complain about Mozilla's dependence on Google while also complaining about every attempt to become more financially independent from Google.

They could start getting some of that goodwill back by not paying their CEO a multi-million dollar salary and opening donations to actually help fund Firefox.

Frankly, https://opencollective.com/servo is a better place to donate by now.
