I want to know what kind of apps/programs y'all recommend to people or just use personally. This is just in general, could be anything from a game to a media codec. I personally use Linux but stuff for other operating systems is welcome too.

Well yeah, they are a company, I have never thought of them as a friend.

I would like it if they released an annual "Firefox Pro" version, the only difference would be that Pro version would be branded as "Firefox Pro" and a badge in the about dialog.

You would pay €20 for it, and Mozilla could rely less on ads, and focus more on privacy.

Why not get rewarded for it as well?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah ok. It's not like nobody rewards donators

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Really? What does Mozilla do?

I genuinely have no idea

wdym? we were discussing donations. no?

if you are back on the privacy topic, let's just say they aren't as privacy-friendly as they say they are. I wouldn't be using anything firefox-based browsers if other usable alternatives existed. their sandboxing is pretty bad on android. which is also why, for example, grapheneOS ships vanadium, which is a chromium based browser.

You just claimed that donations are already rewarded, I am asking how.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

no no, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

I said:

It’s not like nobody rewards donators

I referred to others like FSF that reward users by giving them something. For example, Signal gives badges in their app.

Ok, so Mozilla does nothing?

Then why is my idea bad?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just personally don't like it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Ok, that is fine, you don't have to like it.

It is just an idea from a guy who is not even on the same continent as Mozilla HQ is
