And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

Mozilla, Thunderbird, and/or the EFF,

Do you know that donation to Mozilla don't (and can't legally) fund Firefox development, right? (opposite to what happens for Thunderbird, actually).

But, hey, you can guarantee Mozilla's CEO a better retirement:

Thus, your money are better spent donating to Thunderbird or EFF or whatever other foundation that does something actually useful.

Mozilla income went from $78m to $497m. It's a much bigger organisation to before. Also if you inflation rate the 500k pay, it's now worth $710k

The web changed, and complexity increased and even staying in there against a larger adversary is hard. Unless you run a company that is competing with Google, I don't think you're really qualified to comment.

Edit: Just realise your description has "Fuck Mozilla!" and you've been bashing it since you started on Lemmy. Looks very shilly to me.
