Firefox is a good example of "either you die a hero or live long enoigh to see yourself become the villian"

It's also an example of a smaller company trying fight a mega Corp with infinite money, gained via unethical means.

People are shitting on Firefox while ignoring what they are up against.

I have no solution for their funding issue, what are they supposed to do? Charge for the browser or ads? There's literally no other alternative and I don't know what the solution is.

What I do know is that once FF dies and chrome fully owns the web we are well and truly fucked.

Honesty it might already be too late.

Stop updating their browser every 5 minutes. Software that already works fine does not need continuious updates that will sooner or later subtract value.
