Signal uses donations to keep running. That's one of the reasons why they don't need to do this kind of crap. Kinda like Firefox.
It's sad to see that slowly but surely the Internet gets divided into the more and more useless giant sector and the free and open sector, which just doesn't get the attention it needs to be attractive enough for most to switch over. And then there's also this weird shadow area where I often hear those pirate chanties from...
Firefox wants to rely on donations but in reality 90% of their funding comes from an advertising company.
Damn, I didn't know that. Now I'm sad.
Talk to anyone who works for a nonprofit. It’s really hard to find enough donors sometimes. You end up relying on a few really rich people because most of the community can only donate a couple bucks.
If every Firefox user donated $4 per year they’d be a billion dollar company and wouldn’t need Google’s deal
That's just sad. I hope my ~20$ a year that I donate to a few of my most needed OSS-projects are helping somewhat.
Google they mean
Firefox doesn't even accept donations. Mozilla Foundation does, which is a related nonprofit, but it crucially does not fund any firefox development and legally cannot do so.
What, related nonprofit that can not legally fund Firefox development? What are you talking about? It's literally developed by them.
Wiki.
Yeah, you should look up what Mozilla Corporation is and who employs those Firefox developers.
Mozilla Foundation owns the trademarks and runs the infrastructure. Firefox developers are employed by for-profit Mozilla Corporation.
PS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_Wikipedia
Yep... And you can't donate to Firefox development. You'll only fund the nonprofit and its goals, the money doesn't go to Mozilla Corporation who do the actual development.
And almost no firefox user wants to admit that, among the other things Firefox is flawed for. But, "IT'S NOT GOOGLE" is their only rationale.
Not being chromium based is quite a big deal, however.
