    Google pays mozilla iirc around 400m a year, loosing 85% of that yeah, that sucks, sure. but yeah, there is enough to sustain firefox and thunderbird and some other things. If not, something is dreadfully wrong.

      The numbers you have quoted so far don’t make a dent in the 400M though - we haven’t even reached 1% yet. How much do you think Mozilla is spending on Firefox? How much of that is “extra” per your back of the envelope math?

        Appologies, I am not a tax auditor, I don’t have enough spare time to go comb through mozilla’s finances to list out every single expense mozilla has. If mozilla can’t make do on that funding, they maybe they deserve to shut it’s doors for good afterall.

          I don’t think there’s anyone on planet earth who can build a browser at a budget of, say, 2 million USD annually. See also: Ladybird and Servo not being anywhere near ready.

          Sorry, you aren’t a tax auditor, but you are out here making claims. Try defending them?

              You are saying there is all of this wasted money, but as soon as you are asked for evidence, it is all “I’m not a tax auditor”. Defend your claims!
