    I would love to give Firefox money, as long as they slash their CEO’s ridiculous salary

      And slash the CEO as well. Not literally of course.

        Nah, suits don’t deserve the dignity of a painless existence. They made their choice to be a soulless husk, and that’s how they should be treated.

          That’s certainly cathartic, and I can appreciate that, but it’s not helpful.

            Neither are executive pay packages. In fact, they harm A LOT more people than one rich prick… So defend them if you want, but know that in doing so, you defend the very problem.

              I mean you’re welcome to believe what you believe, and if you want to string them up I wouldn’t stop you. I just don’t think killing any of these people is going to solve anything as the problem is systemic. We need to take the system and their means away from them.

                It wouldn’t be part of the systemic fixes, no, but it would be part of the emotional healing that we all need.

      I’m in the same boat. Mozilla can’t be trusted with donations until they can prove they spend money responsibly. Money, like trust, should not be given by default.

      I’m paying for a VPN on a monthly basis, as well as for cloud storage - I’d pay for Firefox too. However, they didn’t come up with the idea of subscriptions, but damn ads…

        They have subscriptions to finance Firefox, including a VPN - it’s just Mullvad with a different name plus some integrations with the browser, but if you need a VPN and want to help Firefox it’s a good way to do it
