They allow donations too. Nothing has stopped anybody from paying. All you had to do was go pay. Pick some amount. Even five fucking dollars.

It's fine for them to create Mozilla VPN. It's never, ever fine to use the same old dark bullshit patterns, and interrupt me on all my computers, same as all these other dirtbag tech companies. They are supposed to be different, and give a shit about the user. Sorry if this is their only way to advertise, but it's not okay.

I don't donate to Mozilla because I want to fund Firefox, not fund exorbitant CEO salaries and hordes of tangential products while Firefox dwindles and dies.

They literally do not allow donations to Firefox. It is not, and never has been, possible.

This is completely false. You can only donate to the Mozilla foundation, which has nothing to do with the development of Firefox.
