Have slowly been switching to Firefox for a couple of months, but the DRM proposal has gotten me to fully switch.

Thank you. You're only one person, but the world is just particles. If enough of us come together, we will be something tangible.

Mozilla is only as strong as the community. In recent years it's been like a red Panda backed in a corner and tried everything to get offset the contribution of Google. But rather than focus on money, it should've focused on community. No matter how many bucks Mozilla chases, it will never match what Google contributes. But no matter how much Google pays Mozilla, it should pale in comparison to the value of community contributions. Sadly Mozilla only value code contributions, not realising that pull requests come thicker and faster with real community engagement. They hired a bunch of people that don't care for the community and as such community engagement dwindled.

while i must agree on community portion (i personally dont partake) even the money contribution is but a wet fart

What google pays mozilla for their search engine deal: 450 million

What google pays apple for the same deal: 15 billion by the time google made this deal mozilla had lost their voice

as much as i hate anything google (i use firefox myself), mozilla lost most of its power to make a compelling argument and the community or rather the people who jumped on the google wagon are very much just as much t blame as google itself
