Seems Firefox decided to return to Twitter.

FWIW no donation money to the Mozilla org goes to Firefox development. It goes to everything else, including the AI bro projects and AI company handouts.

    i know; i originally donated to mozilla specifically because i liked their goal of turning a page against the hate and bigotry on the internet, especially with mozilla.social but they got rid of that with their latest ceos.

    they don't understand that i WANT a progressive company working to build a non ai browser AND make the internet community a better place.

    Yeah, Mozilla Org is the non-profit and Mozilla Corp is the for-profit that develops Firefox and gives their CEO's million dollar golden parachutes. Unfortunately these days even the org is overrun with AI bros.

    That honestly suck considering they are Google's pet with the search engine agreement.

    Very much agreed. I don't think Firefox should take some high moral stance and reject Google money, but they need to develop alternative ways of getting funded, and cut irrelevant spending! That way they can actually start loosening Google's stranglehold on them
