For advertising: Firefox now collects user data by default

If there is one single piece of software I will post a recurring fee for, it's a web browser. Look at Kagi and Orion for example (I pay for both).

It's like email. You need to get people over the mental hump. But then if you offer a good product, buyers will be happy they got over it.

CEO of Mozilla earns $3m/year.

If the Mozilla foundation creates a donation button with the condition that the money goes solely to browser development (no CEO salary or political activism) I will donate.

Except that it's well-known fact that none of your donations for the foundation ever go anywhere near Firefox itself, since Firefox is spun off as their commercial sector to accept Google's money

I donate to them as well, but donating broadly to the Mozilla foundation isn't the same as selling the web browser in exchange for money.
