This is dumb. Google might have leveraged this initially, but right now this is immaterial. The monopoly is maintained by its monopoly in the browser market. Divest chrome.
That said, I think drying up this well would be the best thing to happen to Mozilla in the past 20 years. All that money did was attract corrupt bloodsuckers that were happy to kill the project in exchange for an undeserved year end bonus.
Millions USD will make people do whatever rich daddy wants and the plebs don’t have USD to pay them like that. Shit most of us barely donate to FOSS.
I am pretty sutr most of Foss funding is government then followed the tech idealists.
We need the prosumers to start pitching in more. Pick at least like one projectand throw them some cash. Otherwise, we all will be cooked by the mega corpos within a life time
