A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox

People who complain about this seems unaware that mozilla can't make money from thin air. You don't pay for the browser, so.... Put 2 and 2 together...
If you would actually consider paying for software you use all the time, companies could make quality stuff.
I would pay 5 dollars per month for Firefox, no problems. I don't like subscriptions but I would do it for Firefox. Been using it since the very first version of Firefox came out.
People are pissed that firefox depends on google's money, and theyre also pissed when they try to make their own money.
I don't see anybody complaining about the act of Mozilla selling a VPN service, email masking service, or even their data removal service (until it was revealed their partner had a horrible track record, but Mozilla agreed with the community on that one).
Hell, I even saw partnering with Google as a necessary evil, although apparently Mozilla looked at the company famous for abandoning their "Don't be evil" mantra and decided to take a page from their playbook.
Maybe, people are complaining about a company doing bad things.
