I used to want to donate to Mozilla Foundation, but I've long lost any hope that the corporation would spend that money in a way that makes sense to me. The pessimist on me would expect donated money to be spent on more built-in "campaigns", "studies" or ads. Or maybe a bonus for their executives.

I just want Firefox to be faster. I'm donating to Floorp (a Firefox fork), at least they seem focused on making the browser better.

Donate to Ladybird, Firefox and forks are unfortunately over.

Ladybird has a chance to become a new truly open source browser written from scratch.

I'm regularly building and playing around with it and the progress is remarkable. I don't think they will need 5 years before it's a usable alternative.
