Chrome isn’t hawking a news platform on the new tab page with sponsored links, pushing you towards a co-branded VPN, or showing ads for random media properties.

Good lord Firefox has fallen from grace in search of revenue. I still use it as my daily driver but they’re killing the golden calf in an attempt to save it.

What do you suggest they do in search of revenue? Are you donating to FF?

Yes. But I’m not delusional that my contribution matters.

They should search for revenue like all community projects. Get companies that have a stake in FF existing because they distribute it — Canonical, Red Hat, AWS, Oracle to put up cash and pay developers to work on it.

The only FOSS models that have a track record of success are:

* Run ads which is really shady.

* Be a true community project and be developed by the people who use it.

* Be open core and sell proprietary features.

* Sell consulting and documentation.

Firefox of all things, isn't a "free community built browser". That's just so out of touch.

And they have been acting very scummy for at least a decade, at least.

And there we go on talking about nuance...
