Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What's next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type "McDonald's" before I can actually navigate there?

I say let them cook a little, they arent drowning in donations and still do a tone of things for foss communities.

Let's remember that the de fuckto market (ie pleb) alternative is overwhelmingly Chrome.

We dont need such projects just so we as individuals can have privacy focused experiences but also for how that influences markets and society. And to have any influence you need certain power of masses.

The perplexing thing is that unlike Thunderbird, I have never seen them ask for donations

They had a very successful donations drive a while back. They might still be good.
