minus-squareLanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoTbf Mozilla needs money to keep doing good work, and I don’t mind “paying” for Firefox like that when the only alternatives are “paying” by letting Google track and sell my personal data.
minus-squareradicalpersondude@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoThat is true. But honestly, when it comes to software I’d just rather be left alone, it’s why I moved from Windows in the first place. I totally wouldn’t mind donating to Mozilla in some other way though.
minus-squareLanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoI’m pretty sure they accept donations
minus-squareradicalpersondude@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoGood to know, I’ll be sure to donate then
minus-squarekopper [they/them]@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-22 years agodon’t donate. they don’t go to the browser buy the VPN if you can. or pocket premium if such thing exists. those go to the browser
minus-squareGenericUsername@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoThat money’s going to Mozila tho (or the Mozilla foundation or something, I never get the exact details right without looking up). Anyway, the point is it will not be used to fund Firefox development if that is where you intend it to go. Can’t, for legal reasons or other bs. Probably no harm in donating whatsover, they do other great stuff aswell, just YSK.
