@collectifission @jeffmcneill @alberto the problem is that #Mozilla failed to use their past "#UncoditionalIncome" or rather absurdly good #Google deal in any meaningful and sustainable way.
- And if the relationship were to change from "#FLOSS like free beer!" to a "#transactional" one I'd certainly expect them to not just #DoBetter, but have more #transparency, #accountability and stop their #Enshittification!
Which is why I want @Mozilla / @mozilla_support to hand over #Firefox to @torproject and make #TorBrowser it's #upstream.
Obviously the best option would be for #Mozilla to become like a #nonprofit (#eV) or #cooperative (#eG) where they have to actually #audit their finances (in the case of cooperatives, by an accredited external auditor) to enshure they ain't wasting huge amounts of money.
Cuz even if everyone there makes $200k a year (obviously they don't) that's still $300M that had to go somewhere.
And even if we assume they blow another $100M on equipment, hosting, sponsorships and other expenses that's still $200M unaccounted for.
- I'd be willing to pay for a good browser, I really would, but that also entails said #funding to go somewhere useful as per the interest of those funding.
Anything else is a #donation.
