1. Why focus on privacy? The niche is already taken by brave 2. To do so, they'd have to drop their half-billion default search engine deals 3. Currently, the donation figure is about $20mil. They'd have to somehow additionally collect $1.5 from every single user annually to prevent layoffs.

Yes, that is part of the reason why they should be a non-profit - sot that they can work for the public good and not for the good of their corporate sponsor.

Donation figure for what? Currently you CANNOT donate towards Firefox development.

To Mozilla foundation. Most people I heard donating to them don't realize their money aren't and couldn't be put into Firefox development.

It's not a small niche. It can be shared with Brave.

And Brave has things that not everyone likes like the bat token stuff. And chromium.
