How much would you and or your company be willing to fund Mozilla should it need to become independent of Google?

Mozilla is fucked.

They should have gotten into privacy centric groupware a decade ago: thunderbird, collaboration office suite, calendar, tasks, etc all baked into Firefox ala nextcloud but with Mozilla polish.

I’d pay for that, instead they fuck around with VPNs and other stupid services that are harder to use than other products and not as good.

I’ll miss Mozilla when they’re gone but there will be no question as to why they’re gone.

You forgot Rust. That was also funded by old-Mozilla
