I just saw a post complaining about the Mozilla layoffs.

I wanted to point out that the vast majority of their income (over 85% in 2022) is from having Google as the default search engine - Ironically, the anti monopoly lawsuit against Google will end this.

Expect things to get worse.

Please don’t assume it was just a cruel choice.

        Signal does a decent job of encouraging people to make one-time or ongoing donations to the service. I’ve supported them multiple times because they gave me a prompt to do so.

        I don’t recall Firefox ever asking for a donation or subscription.
