    from the FAQ

    • How can you be “independent” if you have sponsors?
    • All sponsorships are in the form of unrestricted donations. Board seats and other forms of influence are not for sale.

      The threat of losing future donations if you upset a sponsor is still coercive.

        (sad part is even if they sold out, they’d still be leagues ahead of the compromises Firefox and Chrome have made)

          I do not understand how folks like you get so shitty about Firefox taking Google money for making it a default search engine when that is the very clear, very limited extent of their relationship. This is the definition of “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” Because Firefox is pretty damn near perfect. I feel like I have to be missing something here.

          What is the issue here? What compromises have they made that make them so irredeemable? If it’s the search default for google that’s just not sufficient IMO.

            • arguing for internet censorship
            • a non-profit that has increased the salary of their CEO 400% while their market share drops 85% and they lay off 250 workers
            • CPO is suing them for potential discrimination
            • just bought Anonym, a full on advertising company
            • blocking anti-censorship addons at Russia’s request

              • I am pro deplatforming.

              • I need to look into the finances more before drawing a conclusion. Not a good look at face value though.

              • let’s see the suit play out, but also concerning

              • don’t know enough about anonym but acquiring an ad-focused company is hardly an indictment

              • they reversed course on the Russia issue so that’s not an issue and should make you feel better. Their reasoning was also legitimate, even so good on them for realizing it was the wrong - if well intentioned - decision.

              • everyone is exploring AI who gives a shit. They’ve hardly forced it down our throats like everyone else.

              With all of this in mind i’m down to be critical but this is not enough to warrant the hate.
