Ideally it would be financed by user donations. Probably not that realistic for a project like this, though.

You can’t finance a massive project like that with donations. This isn’t like Signal or some small project like that. Firefox is MASSIVE.

Yeah, web browsers cost hundreds of millions per year to maintain, they’re mind-bogglingly complicated and costly.

I’d really hope the Linux Foundation would help contribute towards the budget, but LF is quite pro Chromium.

I don’t think end users can even come close to funding Firefox development, unfortunately.
