    Here in Germany, a non-profit is not allowed to do any profit

    That is just not true… You are not allowed to pay your profits to anyone, but investing it or building reserves is absolutely permitted and a really important thing to do especially if you’re dependent on donations…

    So, now, I am not willing to give them any more slag. They have to change

    I agree, but that will never make me use Chrome or any Chromium based browser. Like probably a lot of people here I do not use vanilla Firefox, but rather LibreWolf and the like

      As mentioned, it is of course more complicated. But I guarantee you, that german courts and the “IRS” will revoke your non profit status if you pay 20 millions to your CEO. I was chairman in a few german non profits, and the requirements are high.
