Gregory's Server@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 🤔.

@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 |
@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
