Firefox app on android. Never seen this before until today. But Firefox is now putting ads in the app?

Yeah but Firefox doesn't get their income like google does

They will never compete with Google by adding ads to the browser. I pay for Kagi, I would pay for Firefox too, but I guess most people wont.

I would pay for their firefox search engine as well.

They get it from Google ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah but it doesn't change that it's sh*t. It's no justification

[-] PrincessCory@lemmy.wtf 8 points 1 day ago

How do you mean its not justificatin? If noone is paying you would you still go to work?

If we want firefox to be good again we need to pay for it, or rather give some symbolic amount that will be huge for them because there are tousent of people using firefox.

Even thou they are losing users for years and now hawe only a relativly small procent of world populacion. Which is bad because people dont understand that firefox is open source and chrome is proprietery.

And dont even understand what open source means.. Thats why we are in situacion like this where google is controling everything…
