If this makes you sad or pissed off, the best thing you can do is donate. I just donated for $15 for the first time.

While donating to Mozilla Foundation is a great cause [1], none of those funds go to funding Mozilla Corporation, and thus Firefox.

If you want your funds to go toward MoCo (and thus Firefox development), your best bet is to subscribe to Mozilla VPN or Pocket Premium.

That’t kinda stupid to be honest. Just charge me $50 for Firefox... you know what make it $100 per year and I will pay, just to avoid Chrome.

I don’t know how many of us are out there, but a large number of people don’t mind paying for the tools they rely on. I have co-worker who pay $100+ to get the email client they want.

How such a payment scheme would work with an open source project I don’t know, but find a way for me to direct payments to Firefox.

Now repeat that donation another 164000 times and you'll have donated their CEO's income in 2018.
