Google's search deal with Mozilla is such a sizeable portion of its overall income that without it, Firefox would struggle to compete - or even survive,

    Its interesting they don’t have all the services Proton does. I’d pay them for a email and VPN combo.

      Pre buy out, Opera was kind of moving towards what Proton is doing now.

      Now Vivaldi sets to continue that trajectory.

      It’s weird that Mozilla didn’t. If they do it now they’ll look like copycats, and they’ve burnt a lot of supporters with their TOS boogaloo it would take a lot from them to claw back some of those supporters

          Everyone on Lemmy thinks getting paid for labor is fascism.

            Yup, I’ve seen people abandon software as soon as it gets funding.
