Mozilla gets fucking loads

From Google. And if that deal disappeared, Mozilla would probably go bankrupt or rely on a worse deal from another provider. Neither would be good for Firefox development.

It makes sense that Mozilla wants to branch out, diversify. It just sucks that they’re terrible at doing it. Would have been cool if Mozilla operated like Proton or any other privacy-orientated service provider.

most open source software manages to avoid ads, why do you think that is

Because they have scruples and usually have financial issues as a result.

They get some small donations from some users… and Google.

It being open source means nothing. Open source developers still need to eat. It just means that you could remove all the things you don’t like.
