    Yeah, the amount of money they get from donations is so tiny compared to what they need for developing Firefox, that they don’t even divert it for Firefox.
    They use it for activism, community work and in the past, they’ve also passed it on to other open-source projects, which are also important for the web but don’t have the infrastructure or public awareness to get donations directly.

      I’m not donating to them because of where the money goes. Would donate to Firefox the moment it becomes possible.

        That’s unnecessary. Everything upwards of like 300k is not salary, it’s business money. That person is a natural business.
