Comparing the Mozilla Foundation and the Mozilla Cooperation with Google (or Alphabet to be precise) is a very far stretch, as the Mozilla Cooperation is still to 100% owned by the foundation. And any profits the cooperation makes are reinvested into further development work.
In comparison, in 2022 the Mozilla Foundation and all its subsidiaries had an revenue of $593 million. And the major source of income with $513 million has been royalties (not from google alone) and they’ve made additionally $75 million via advertisements. Their expenses had been $425 Million for that same fiscal year.
Alphabet on the other hand… had revenues of almost $283 billion in 2022.
Mozilla is a non-profit organization, not a for profit company which is traded at the stock markets. No matter how hard someone is trying to frame Mozilla in the same league of Alphabet or the other tech behemoths. That’s a different league and completely different business practices.
Okay. So, a Chromium derivative. Helping Google keep the monopolistic status quo, while saying (directly or indirectly) that you’re anti-Google. Cool beans.
At least, if it was Librewolf you’d have ground to stand on, especially since they don’t accept donations. But this? Really?
Librewolf, Zen, Floorp, FireDragon, Mullvad? Nope. Chromium-based.
To each his own, but please don’t pretend you are helping the situation.
It’s like if you were saying using librewolf or mullvad browser is somehow helping mozilla.
Or that using mesa to run ur amd gpu is helping intel.
ungoogled chromium, is chromium without the reasons I had to dislike chromium, retaining all the reasons i like chromium. It’s what suits my purposes best, so I use that.
I said don’t pretend you are helping the situation. What don’t you understand from that?
If you use a Chromium-based browser as your personal and main browser, and you aren’t being forced to by your employer, then pretending that you are taking a stand against Google makes no sense. If Google decided to stop funding Chromium, then some other company or evil billionaire would need to take on the effort, and if no one does, then all Chromium derivatives would simply die.
Mozilla is the same. They need money to run their browser, and the only way to get that money is from its users. If the users don’t fund it, then enter whichever evil corporation or billionaire who wants to “help”.
Anyway, this has been talked about in other topics. It’s really simple logic. Fund what you believe in, or stop pretending you are actually taking a stand.
