@Mazzle @domhuggur @tante Mozilla heavily depends on Google's money. If I remember correctly Google pays Mozilla around $500M to be its default search engine 🤔. @janpieter @domhuggur @tante Sure, but that is still different than being an investor into a private company. And you can't invest into a non-profit org, afaik. Plus people in this system still somehow need money to live @Mazzle @domhuggur @tante Taking 'dirty Google money', depending on it, is not a viable model ultimately imo. I want Google to die asap. Which would mean no more money for Mozilla 😏. @Mazzle @janpieter @tante So... The money still moving the world (in better words, the people). In all the world exist a lot of nonprofit organisations that the reason of their existence is to evade taxes from large fortunes @Mazzle @domhuggur @tante If you're on MacOS (I'm not), you can try the Orion browser. Funded by users. Zero telemetry. https://kagi.com/orion/faq.html#business  @janpieter @Mazzle @domhuggur Yeah, Mozilla needs more and diverse funding. It's still better than Thiel funded for profit by a few miles. @tante @Mazzle @domhuggur I don't know if there's such a fundamental difference between accepting Thiel's money or Google's money 🤔 . @janpieter @tante @Mazzle I live un Spain. The salary are so low than if I've to pay for all online services, I'll have not money for eat food |
@domhuggur @tante Mozilla Foundation is Non-Profit unlike Brave Software Inc which has investors (including Pether Thiel) and Brave has their own Crypto Tokens and somehow uses it to pay others and in 2020 inserted referral codes as default.
Plus they are based on Chromium aswell
