I agree with a lot of things except on the mobile part.

First as a user of Firefox and Firefox Focus on Android who frequently sends urls/tabs between his devices and synchronizes a lot of things, second because you can't ignore what is now 50% of the Web usage and needs privacy as much as on desktop, if not more.

I could see myself donating some money for such an organization but not in the current state where I would feel I'm paying for the constant brand redesigns or weird activism.

Fair point. I shot from the hip there because I was asked to and it was all that I could come up with just before dinner. But you are totally right that the synergy between desktop and phone is an important one to keep in mind.
