> It would be amazing if we didn’t have to have this conversation on every single thread about anything related to Firefox.

If Firefox starts acting maturely, we can stop having these conversations. Until then we see useless crap in every update while most bugs don't get any meaningful attention. Some changes even made things worse than they were before, for example the new Edit and Resend (not so "new" anymore). If Mozilla starts acting the best interest of the user, stops with the ad BS and doesn't try to be everything all at once and actually focuses on Firefox, I would donate. And so would others. If I donate now, I doubt even 1% of my money would go to anything meaningful, like bug fixing.

No, fuck Google and Chrome and even anything Chromium-based. Here's the peep from me.

> For my part, I pay mozilla for their VPN service, which I’m sure many here would decry as useless spending that should be going to firefox instead.

Does the profit from the VPN service go to Firefox? If not, what's the point of having a VPN service.
