I’m curious how you think Mozilla should provide a 100% free alternative with the things everyone wants without paying any developers?

  Are you serious? Mozilla gets almost a billion dollars a year from Google. Stop posting if you are this clueless.

    Partially to keep Google as the default search.

    more than partially actually. 85% of Mozillas income comes from search engine deals.Then when you look at the revenue reports for the year, its stated in it that.
    
    Approximately 85% and 81% of Mozilla’s revenues from customers with contracts were derived from one customer for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Receivables from that one customer represented 70% and 64% of the December 31, 2023 and 2022 outstanding receivables, respectively.
    
    I’m no accountant and while Google is not specified. That sounds like the signs are pointing at google being 85% of the projects income.

  Show me the adverts that GNOME or the KDE project pushes. How do I block ads in my Linux kernel? Where are the ffmpeg adverts? What about the curl ads? Where do you go about finding adverts in LibreOffice? I’ve never seen any ads in nginx, but maybe I’ve missed them.
  
  There’s so much free software out there.
  
  Mozilla gets money, they can also apply for funding if things get that tight. Given that they’re pouring money into useless projects no one has ever asked for, that’s widely unpopular and has lost them a tonne of goodwill among their userbase, I don’t think money is a massive problem for them.
