Because people want to see them spend their efforts on holding the Internet back from a WebKit monoculture, and donate to that cause, but they keep wasting resources on political activism, pointless bs like time-limited themes, etc. while downsizing their engineering team. Not doing those isn’t “impossible”, in fact they go out of their way to disappoint people with those distractions.

I don't think Firefox actually takes donation anyway. It's specifically put under Mozilla Corporation so it can generate profit.

Yes, I’m aware of that. People would like to donate specifically to Firefox development though, and some donate to Mozilla Foundation under the impression that it would help. I’ve certainly done that in the past.

>People would like to donate specifically to Firefox development though

Then find a developer and ask them if they take direct donations.

yes, but donations is not a business model

Huh? There are tons of organizations (charities) for whom it is the business model.

How many of them make web browsers? An engineering team that can build one is not cheap.

Who said donations have to be the only source of income?
