    If Firefox dies, the entire Internet goes with it because Google’s hegemony over web standards will go unchecked.

          try what? give mozilla money? sure, i’d buy a browser, maybe even a reasonably priced subscription. but would that guarantee a bullshit-free product? i’m skeptical. also, they’d never make enough money that way

          this thread is full of lamenting over google’s global takeover and downvotes for me not stomping my feet about it, but i’ve yet to see an actionable suggestion for what to do about it

            Giving your money to Mozilla wouldn’t even guarantee it went to Firefox. First 6M have to go to its CEO.
