        That’s a fair position, but let me ask. Are you donating to Mozilla on a monthly basis?

          The Mozilla Corporation does not accept donations.

              Yes, and they don’t develop Firefox (legally can’t) since they made a for-profit entity for that purpose.

                Hmm maybe I stop donating then… I’ll have to dig into where my money is actually going.

          Yes. Just like I donate to my Lemmy host on a regular basis.

          I even pay for YouTube, despite using Vanced.

          Fuck ads.
