Did you know that ~85% of Mozilla Corp's revenue comes from Google?

So not independent of Google and not a non-profit.
To be clear: I use Firefox, mainly because uBlock origin is blocked on Chrome.
Could you, and everybody, stop saying this for any reason about any subject? Go through this thread, pick out all of the people saying that they hate Mozilla for "not being perfect." Argue with them.
> the point really is "what's the alternative"?
Yes, that is the point. If there were an alternative people wouldn't complain, they would just leave. But Google is paying Mozilla (and Apple by the way) massive amounts of money not to compete. Mozilla is just very-ungoogled-chromium. It is not an alternative to google, it is one of the alternatives that google offers. I use it because I don't want to leave the internet altogether. It is a pain in the ass that involves a lot of work to bring it up to 70% of the functionality and UI it had 20 years ago.
Can we just for once not blindly hate something for not being perfect and consequently strengthening an even worse option?
