Yeah I really hope there will be some way to tie donations directly to FF development.

I believe Firefox could raise a lot of money through donations. If they make it clear that Firefox donations will be solely used for Firefox development. Also ideally add a quick survey to donations to see what the “donating” userbases values are. My issue with donating to Mozilla is that it is too broad and they have many products I don’t care for.

I use Thunderbird and donate to it because I feel it’s more focused. I believe Mozilla still can use the funds for other stuff but at least I am donating for a clear project.

Fun video. Many backup options failed iirc.

• Company does new “bad” thing.
• Thing gets media attention.
• Company postpones/reassures.
• Attention dies down.
• Company rolls out thing more slowly over longer period of time.

Not saying that’s what’s going to happen. Just keep that in mind and maybe use this time to explore some other options. That usually doesn’t hurt and if push comes to shove moving won’t be as painful.

Generally if possible diversifying is usually a good thing no matter what.
