Pretty interesting analysis from TechAltar about Mozilla usage and revenue trends, which aren't as dire as they're often made out to be, but how the search placement deal with Google is indeed endangered, which may be pushing them to their recent embrace of adtech as a new revenue source

Oh, that’s a very good point. Makes me wonder why Mozilla doesn’t talk about donations very much. Must be a strategic decision or something.

I think it would be best for Firefox to be given greater autonomy, like Thunderbird has been. Thunderbird asks for donations and I'm happy to provide! I don't think it's a coincidence that Thunderbird started to thrive after being greater independence. Major new initiatives in user interface, mobile client after years of stagnation. Something at Mozilla central is deeply rotten.
