Mozilla is simultaneously both a genius Google-sponsored company that you can't criticize their decisions because you don't fund them, and a money-starved company that needs to make a profit and you're a monster for denying them the revenue

Mozilla is simultaneously a vassal of Google because it's 85% funded by its search revenue, and an over-resourced company that is a monster for trying to bring in even more revenue.

because you don’t fund them

Also you cannot fund them. All the money you give goes to Mozilla and its CEO which needs $millions to take those stupid decisions.

If we donate enough we can match their 7 ish million salary! (iirc)

Benefits of their Corp/Foundation structure I guess. Though if I was funding them I'd criticize them harder lol
