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

The only way I would donate to Mozilla is if the corporation is shuttered and the non-profit is disentangled from it.

Any donations you send to Mozilla today go to the corporation and are not spent on the browser. They are spent on things that have nothing to do with the core mission of the maintaining the browser.

Nobody is allowed to fund Mozilla to maintain the browser, which is the actual question you're asking.

I think you're getting it mixed.

The corporation funds almost exclusively the browser.

The non-profit doesn't fund the browser.
